<![CDATA[Plastic waste management at the community level continues to face challenges, particularly in transforming discarded plastic into materials that can be creatively reused. This community engagement activity aimed to provide knowledge and practical experience to the community of Cijambu Village, particularly women participants, in managing plastic waste through a circular economy approach. The activity was conducted through the delivery of materials on waste management, the three principles of reducing, reusing, and recycling, and the circular economy, followed by demonstrations, hands-on practice, discussion, and mentoring. The results showed that participants actively engaged in the learning and practical processes, including sorting, preparing, processing, and assembling plastic into products with new functions. These activities provided participants with an experience of viewing plastic waste not merely as discarded material, but as a resource that can be transformed through creativity and practical skills. The activity also created opportunities for women to participate in waste management practices and community creativity development. Overall, the activity served as an initial stage for developing circular economy-based waste management in Cijambu Village and established a foundation for further activities involving mentoring, product development, and strengthening community-based sustainability]]>
