“…The specific strength of LT bottle bricks, as shown in Figure 3, ranges from 26.02 kN.m./kg to 31.91 kN.m./kg. Edike et al, (2020) obtained higher specific strength values for eco-bricks filled with laterite at less than 15% moisture content. The specific strength of eco-brick in the present study is higher than the specific strengths of copper (24.7 kN/kg) and concrete (5.22 kN/kg), but lower than the specific strength of PET (57-62 kN/kg) alone.…”

Researchers have considered the potential utilization of waste plastics in concrete and mortar production. However, there is paucity of research on the use of waste plastic as an encapsulate in the manufacture of eco-bricks. This paper assesses the characterization of eco-bricks under uniaxial compressive loading with respect to soil materials and compaction. Three compaction layers and three types of soil materials (laterite, sharp sand, and stone dust) were used to produce 81 specimens of eco-bricks. The study reveals that the compressive strength of eco-bricks made with laterite has a positive linear relationship with the number of compaction layers, but eco-bricks that are made with sharp sand and stone dust as filler material have a negative linear relationship with the number of compaction layers. The compressive strength of laterite-filled eco-bricks for one, two and three layers of compaction was 31.92 N/mm2, 40.91 N/mm2 and 46.79 N/mm2, respectively. In comparison, stone dust has a density of 12.18 N/mm2, N/mm2, and 6.51 N/mm2 and sharp sand have a density of 3.38 N/mm2, 2.42 N/mm2, and 2.17 N/mm2. The study revealed that at a high level of compaction, laterite bottle bricks are suitable for use as masonry units for construction of walls, while sharp sand and stone dust bottle bricks are only suitable for use as masonry units at a low level of compaction. It is advised to choose filler materials and compaction layers carefully while manufacturing bottle bricks because the performance of eco-bricks depends significantly on these parameters.

“…The village administration of Jurangjero welcomes community service activities because they align with the village's medium-term plan to initiate community waste management. The results of this discussion state that community service activities are focused on the use of technology to process waste (both organic and inorganic waste) and agricultural waste (especially rice straw) (Ariyani et al, 2017;Ayilara et al, 2020;Edike et al, 2020;Kaur et al, 2017;Phibunwatthanawong & Riddech, 2019). The village requires guidance and assistance from external parties, particularly academics, to address residents' waste and agricultural refuse.…”

It is essential to manage waste in an integrated manner, beginning at the domestic and village levels. In fact, there are still a significant number of residents who throw trash carelessly. Jurangjero village, a village in Klaten Regency, Central Java, is an example of a village that does not adequately manage its waste. In addition, the village has agricultural waste issues that require optimal utilization, including rice straw. This community service program aims to increase public awareness of organic and inorganic domestic waste management and agricultural waste management so that they can be applied appropriately to the concept of the green village. The program’s methods included field observations, waste management outreach, and training. The training included the creation of organic fertilizers, eco-bricks, plastic waste containers, and straw paper. Farmer groups and farmer women’s groups have gained an understanding of the management of domestic organic waste into organic fertilizer and compost as a result of the outreach and training activities. Karangtaruna has also gained an understanding of inorganic waste management by applying the recycling concept, which entails transforming plastic refuse into plastic pots and ecobricks. They have also grasped the production of economically valuable art paper from rice stalks. The descriptive analysis revealed that the average pre-test and posttest scores were 55.58 and 76.67, respectively. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that this community service program has increased residents’ knowledge of managing domestic and agricultural waste to create valuable products. The support of the village administration is required for sustainable waste management and the continuation of empowerment initiatives.

“…Metode yang tepat untuk penerapan ecobrick kepada peserta adalah dengan cara pemberian pengetahuan terlebih dahulu tentang permasalahan sampah plastik dan mengapa harus ada pengolahan sampah plastik. Plastik ketika dibuang, dibakar atau ditimbun akan meracuni bumi, udara dan air (Edike et al, 2020). Ketika plastik itu disimpan, dipilah dan dipak dalam botol, akan menghasilkan ecobrick yang dapat digunakan berulang (Ristanto et al, 2022).…”

Abstrak: Sampah plastik merupakan permasalahan lingkungan yang sampai saat ini masih belum terselesaikan. Sampai saat ini, hanya sebagian kecil sampah plastik yang di daur ulang. Sebagai bentuk kepedulian terhadap permasalahan tersebut, Ecomoney Enterprise berbagi informasi dan ilmu pengetahuan terkait pengolahan plastik bekas dengan mengadakan ‘Workshop Pembuatan Ecobrick’. Melalui kegiatan workshop ini, diharapkan dapat memberikan informasi dan pengetahuan terkait pengolahan sampah plastik menjadi ecobrick dan masyarakat dapat mengaplikasikannya dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Metode pelaksanaan workshop dilakukan secara daring dan berkolaborasi bersama Sanggar Hijau Indonesia. Direktur Sanggar Hijau Indonesia sebagai narasumber mengenalkan masyarakat pada ecobrick dan bagaimana tahapan pembuatan ecobrik yang baik dan benar. Kegiatan workshop ini menghasilkan peserta dengan pengetahuan mampu memahami tentang bahaya keberadaan sampah plastik di lingkungan, dan bagaimana mengolahnya menjadi ecobrick dengan baik dan benar. Antusiasme dan keaktifan peserta ditunjukkan dari proses tanya jawab dan diskusi yang aktif selama kegiatan workshop. Hasil yang diperoleh dari workshop ini, diharapkan mampu memberi bekal kepada masyarakat untuk peduli terhadap kondisi bumi dan lingkungan.Abstract: Plastic waste is an environmental problem that is still unresolved. To date, only a small percentage of plastic waste is recycled. As one of problem-solving scenario, Ecomoney Enterprise shared practical information and knowledge related to the processing of used plastics by holding an 'Ecobricking Workshop. Through this workshop, it is expected to provide information and knowledge related to the processing of plastic waste into ecobricks and the community can apply it in their daily lives. The method of implementing this workshop is online by collaborating with Sanggar Hijau Indonesia. The director of Sanggar Hijau Indonesia as a resource person introduced the community to ecobricks and how to make good and correct ecobricks. This workshop generated participants with the knowledge to understand the dangers of plastic waste in the environment, and how to process it into ecobricks properly. The enthusiasm and activeness of the participants were shown by the active questions and answers process and discussion during the workshop. With the results obtained from this workshop, it is expected to be able to provide provisions for the community to care about the condition of the earth and the environment.
