Household waste management, particularly organic waste, has emerged as an increasingly urgent environmental issue, including in Makassar City. This activity aimed to enhance knowledge, awareness, and practical skills of community members, especially housewives, in processing organic waste into Eco-Enzyme as an environmentally friendly product. The program employed a participatory approach through interactive lectures, simulations, hands-on practice, and online mentoring via a WhatsApp group. The activity was implemented in the form of a workshop on 14 September 2025 in Makassar, involving approximately 20 participants. The results indicated an improvement in participants’ understanding of household waste management and their technical ability to independently produce Eco-Enzyme. In addition, initial behavioral changes were observed, including the adoption of waste segregation practices and a commitment to reducing the disposal of organic waste to landfills. This program contributes to the development of an applied and participatory community engagement model with the potential to be replicated in other regions to support sustainable waste management.
