<![CDATA[Plastic waste residues remain a problem in Trunan Village, Magelang City, although the community already has community-based waste management activities. This community service program aimed to improve the capacity of the Trunan Village Youth Organization in managing plastic waste residues through the application of a Scrub Incinerator and the utilization of processing residues as prototypes of construction materials. The implementation methods included needs identification, socialization, pre-test and post-test as indicators of knowledge evaluation, technology demonstration, residue utilization practices, mentoring, and evaluation. The results showed that the Scrub Incinerator could be applied to process plastic waste residues, with the wet scrubber and chimney filtration media functioning during the demonstration based on visual observations. The effectiveness of pollutant reduction could not be quantitatively determined because emission measurements had not been conducted. The utilization of residues produced one Roster prototype and one Hebel prototype, although neither had undergone technical testing. The program also produced an operation manual, involved the handover of the equipment to the partner, and established cooperation with the Waste Bank as a supplier of plastic waste. Further mentoring is required to achieve the Youth Organization's operational independence, conduct technical testing, and develop product marketing.]]>
