IMPLEMENTASI SOIMAH, SOLUSI PILAH SAMPAH DARI RUMAH OLAH LIMBAH JADI BERKAH DI KELURAHAN REJASARI

Abstract

Every activity or production activity at both the industrial and household levels will produce by-products (waste). Waste or rubbish is a problem in every region, considering that every household will produce waste in the form of organic and inorganic waste which can pollute and be dangerous for the surrounding environment. So management efforts are needed in the form of reduce, reuse or recycle. A further form of effort to streamline this process is handling it starting from the household. The implementation of simple technology has been carried out in Rejasari Village, West Purwokerto District, Banyumas Regency with the target audience being PKK mothers. The results of the activity show that SOIMAH is a suitable alternative method for educating the public to get involved in a real way by sorting and grouping types of waste according to their type. Organic waste originating from households in the form of leftover food such as rice and stale vegetables is recycled into compost (solid fertilizer) to fertilize plants. Meanwhile, organic waste in the form of fruit and vegetable peels is used as raw material for eco-enzymes. The overall analysis results show that IPTEKS activities have succeeded in solving the waste problem in Rejasari Village, have the potential to increase family income, and play a role in reducing environmental pollution.
