According to a survey by Nova Chemicals, Indonesia is the second largest contributor to sea waste after China, which is 1.29 million metric tons / year. At present there are still many people in Indonesia who throw garbage in any place, and can caused flooding in the river. The river is polluted with a lot of waste, one of which is the Citarum River. Citarum River is a river that is very important for residents of West Java. The condition of the Citarum River which is very alarming is polluted by waste and garbage. In the world's leading survey site, the Citarum River occupies the 4th position for the dirtiest river problem. The rubbish that pollutes the Citarum River is more inorganic or unbiodegradable, for example plastic, bottles or beverage cups, plastic food wrapping, and so on. As we know plastic waste is very difficult to decompose, it takes more than 100 years to decompose the plastic decomposed or decompose completely. Plastic waste is one source of environmental pollution in Indonesia. The benefits of using plastic products must be balanced with the calculation of the negative impact produced. The nature of this plastic material makes it difficult to replace it with other materials for various applications, especially in everyday life ranging from food packaging, household appliances, children's toys, electronics to automotive components. Increased use of plastic materials has resulted in increased production of plastic waste from year to year. The destruction of plastic waste by burning will only worsen the health because of the anti-dioxy substance produced. The most appropriate method used in dealing with waste is to use the Ecobrick method. The team of Pancasila University wanted to socialize how to make an ecobrick, and how strong the compressive on the ecobrick material was made. To overcome waste, especially plastic along the Citarum river. This socialization was held in Tanjung Mekar Village, Karawang Barat sub-district, Karawang Regency. The participants coming from the community of environmentalists (Eco Village). Community of eviromentalists hope will provide direction and socialization to their about the ecobrick method to deal with plastic waste that cannot be recycled. From the results of testing carried out at the Pancasila University concrete laboratory using ecobrick materials is plastic bottles filled with pure plastic, filled with sand, and a mixture of plastic and sand compared to red brick and concrete brick sold in the market, from the compressive strength test results it is known that the material ecobrick which contains of sand shows the greatest compressive strength value is 41.2 Mpa, compared to red brick which is 27 Mpa and concrete brick is 38 Mpa ecobrick has a higher compressive strength than other materials

The large amount of waste generated in Sirau Village, as well as the limited land for the Final Processing Site (TPA), has made BUMDes Mugi Rahayu in Sirau Village to implement a community-based waste management program. BUMDes Mugi Rahayu acts as an initiator and mobilizer for the community. These efforts are used as the spearhead of the waste reduction program in Sirau Village. Successes and obstacles in waste management will be assessed using the ecobrick making and composting process as parameters. Area-scale community-based waste management through the construction and management of a Waste Management Unit has the potential to be the spearhead of the waste reduction program in Sirau Village for both organic and inorganic waste. Commercial compost has an impact on the economy of the Sirau village community. And Ecobrick is an effective alternative in controlling plastic waste.

“…Konsumen Pada tahapan pembuatan ecobrick tahapan yang paling penting adalah pemadatannya sehingga didapatkan pondasi yang kokoh dan kuat. Dipadatkannya sampah plastik didalam botol berguna untuk meningkatkan jumlah pengisi karena ini akan mempengaruhi fisik dan sifat mekanik dari ecobrick itu sendiri yaitu seperti stabilitas volume, modulus elastis, dan perilaku pemulihan elastis-plastik (Antico, F. C., Wiener, M. J., Araya-letelier, G., & Durán, 2017). Penggunaan tenaga manual memang menjadi tantangan bagi peneliti dalam membuat ecobrick karena kepadatan dari ecbrick tersebut akan mempengaruhi kepadatan dan kekuatannya.…”

AbstrakInulin merupakan bahan dasar obat yang banyak terkandung dalam umbi-umbian lokal, seperti ubi kayu/singkong (Manihot esculenta), uwi (Dioscorea spp.), ubi jalar (Ipomoea batatas), dan gembili (Dioscorea esculenta L.), yang secara luas belum diupayakan untuk diproduksi secara besar-besaran. Umbi-umbian lokal umumnya hanya dijual sebagai bahan mentah yang harganya relatif murah dan tidak dapat disimpan dalam waktu yang relatif lama. Umumnya dikonsumsi dengan cara direbus, digoreng atau diolah menjadi makanan tradisional, belum diproses menjadi produk yang lebih bermanfaat, memiliki nilai jual relatif tinggi, dan waktu penyimpanan yang relatif lebih lama. Pada kegiatan pemberdayaan masyarakat pedesaan ini telah dilakukan penyuluhan, pemberian keterampilan, dan pendampingan masyarakat dusun Krajan Wedomartani Ngemplak Sleman untuk secara mandiri mampu mengolah umbi-umbian lokal menjadi produk tepung fermentasi, tepung non fermentasi, dan ekstrak inulin. Pada kegiatan ini bahan baku yang digunakan adalah umbi singkong, uwi ungu, dan ubi jalar ungu. Proses fermentasi umbi dilakukan menggunakan jamur monascus angka atau monascus purpureus. Ekstrak inulin dilakukan dengan menggunakan pelarut alkohol. Produk tepung fermentasi dengan bahan baku umbi singkong, uwi ungu, dan ubi jalar ungu masing-masing memiliki randemen sebesar 52%, 43%, dan 40%; sedangkan ekstrak inulin memiliki randemen sesesar 7,47%, hanya saja produk inulin belum optimum bila ditinjau dari sisi warna senyawa, masih perlu dilakukan proses lanjutan untuk memperoleh produk inulin yang sesuai standar pasar. Hasi angket menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar peserta menyatakan kegiatan seperti ini sangat bermanfaat, dan secara umum penyajian materi oleh tim pengabdi dapat diterima dengan mudah dan jelas oleh peserta. Sebagian besar peserta menyatakan bahwa metoda penyampaian materi sesuai, artinya, secara umum metoda penyampaian materi dalam kegiatan ini dapat diterima dengan mudah oleh masyarakat sasaran. Sebagian besar peserta menyatakan bahwa kegiatan seperti ini sangat membantu membuka wawasan masyarakat desa untuk dapat mengolah umbi-umbian lokal, yang semula hanya dikonsumsi dengan direbus atau digoreng atau dijual mentah dengan harga realtif murah menjadi produk yang lebih bermanfaat, memiliki nilai jual relatif tinggi, dan memiliki daya simpan relatif lebih lama. Kata kunci: inulin, monascus angka, umbi-umbian lokal, membuka wawasan, masyarakat desa ECOBRICK as The Utilization of Plastic in Biology Laboratory and Foodcourt Yogyakarta State University AbstractInulin is a raw material of medicine which is contained in local tubers, such as cassava (Manihotes culenta), Dioscorea spp., sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.), and Dioscorea esculenta L., which is not widely strived in mass production. Local tubers commonly sold as food raw material which is relatively cheap and cannot be stored for a long time. Generally, the tubers consumed by boiling, fried or processed to traditional food. It has not processed to be more valuable product, has relatively high price, and has relatively longer the storage time. In the empowerment activity of rural community, it has been conducted counseling, providing soft skill, and community assistance in Krajan, Wedomartani, Ngemplak, Sleman to independently be able producing local tubers became fermented flour, unfermented flour, and inulin extract product. In this activity, the raw material were cassava, Dioscorea alata L. syn. D. atropurpurea Roxb., and purple sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas var Ayumurasaki). Tubers fermentation process was conducted using monascus angka or monascus purpureus mold. Inulin extract was produced using alcohol solvent. Fermented flour product from cassava, Dioscorea alata L. syn. D. atropurpurea Roxb., and purple sweet potato have yield as respectively 52%, 43%, and 40%; meanwhile inulin extract has yield as 7.47%, although inulin product had not reach optimum point regarding on the color of compound. It still needs further process to gain standardized commercially inulin product. Questioners showed that mostly of the attendances stated the activity very useful, and generally the presentation from empowerment team can be delivered easily and clearly to the communities. Mostly of the attendances stated that the method of presentation is suitable, which means generally the presentation method in this activity can be accepted easily by the communities. Mostly of the attendances stated that the activity is very helpful for them to gain the knowledge of local tubers processing, which was originally consumed only with boiled or fried or sold uncooked with the relatively cheap price to be more valuable product, has relatively high price, and has relatively longer the storage time Key words: inulin, monascus angka, local tubers, empowerment, rural community
