Identification of urban waste based on environmentally friendly products in biology education
AI summary Read the abstract
A systematic literature review identified plastic packaging, plastic bottles, diapers, and used cooking oil as the most promising household waste streams for conversion into environmentally friendly products in Indonesian biology education contexts. This study is tangentially relevant to microplastic research in that it highlights plastic waste streams — particularly single-use packaging — that, if unmanaged, fragment into microplastics in the environment.
Environmental issues are a major concern worldwide. Improperly managed waste is one of the causes of environmental damage. Household waste is the largest contributor to waste in Indonesia. Household waste consists of food scraps, plastic, cans, bottles, and other liquid waste. This study aims to identify the types of materials that can be used as recycled products in biology education especially environmental education learning, processing methods, and suitability with learning plans. The method in this research is systematic literature review (SLR). Reference searches used the Publish or Perish 8 application by analyzing articles indexed by Google Scholar. After conducting the identification, screening, eligibility, and inclusion processes, 10 articles were obtained from Google Scholar. All articles were explained for their suitability with the content of the material in the Environmental Education lesson plan. The findings in this study indicate that materials that can be processed into environmentally friendly products are plastic packaging, plastic bottles, diapers, and used cooking oil. This waste processing can be done using easily available additional materials and simple tools. This study provides a reference for household waste management, contributes to reducing the volume of waste ending up in landfills, supports environmental conservation by encouraging the utilization of waste that is still useful, and increases awareness and implementation of sustainable waste management practices in the community.

Teaching Strategies for Microplastic Material in Science Learning: Literature Review
AI summary Read the abstract
This Indonesian literature review analyzed science learning strategies for teaching microplastic environmental pollution topics, finding that Problem Based Learning and Guided Inquiry were the most frequently used and effective models for engaging students with this complex contemporary environmental issue. The review identified Discovery Learning as less commonly used for microplastics education due to the risk of student confusion without adequate guidance.
