The target participants were the community of Kadur Village, including households, business actors, and other community members who generate or collect plastic waste.

The results showed that the activity encouraged active community participation, particularly through questions, discussions, and involvement in the paving block production process. Participants gained new knowledge about plastic waste management and practical experience in transforming plastic waste into useful products. The activity also introduced an alternative approach to reducing plastic waste while opening opportunities for further environmental and economic development at the community level.
