<![CDATA[This training activity aimed to introduce and teach the production of concrete blocks using peanut shell waste as an environmentally friendly, economical, and potentially sustainable alternative building material. The activity was motivated by the increasing demand for building materials and the importance of sustainable waste management to reduce negative environmental impacts. The training methods included theoretical presentations on material characteristics and waste utilization, demonstrations of material mixing techniques, hands-on concrete block production, molding processes, and product evaluation. Participants were actively involved in each stage of the activity to develop a better practical understanding of the production process. The results showed that participants were able to understand and apply the techniques of mixing, molding, and drying concrete blocks made from peanut shell waste. In addition to improving participants’ practical skills, the activity increased their awareness of the importance of utilizing industrial waste as a value-added material. This activity is expected to create new business opportunities, reduce dependence on conventional raw materials, and minimize environmental impacts associated with peanut shell and silica sand waste. Overall, the training demonstrated the potential of waste-based concrete block production as an innovative approach to supporting environmentally sustainable construction practices and community-based economic development. ]]>
