The Utilization of Ecobricks in Waste Management as an Effort to Reduce Plastic Waste
AI summary Read the abstract
This community education initiative introduced elementary school students in Bali, Indonesia, to the Ecobrick method — packing plastic waste into bottles to create building materials — finding that the hands-on program built waste-segregation awareness and produced functional plant pots, demonstrating a scalable model for youth-focused plastic waste management.
The management of plastic waste presents a serious challenge in Indonesia, particularly in urban areas. This community service initiative aims to enhance students' awareness regarding plastic waste management through the Ecobrick method at SD Negeri 1 Ubung, North Denpasar District. The activity involved 30 students from class 4C and was conducted on January 24, 2025. Through this program, students were introduced to the principles of the 3R (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) and taught how to create Ecobricks from plastic waste. The results of the activity indicated that students not only understood the importance of waste segregation but also successfully produced Ecobricks that can be used as plant pots. This program has a positive impact on fostering an environmentally conscious mindset among the younger generation. The success of the Ecobrick method at SD Negeri 1 Ubung practical its potential for implementation in other schools and can serve as a model for sustainable community-based waste management. Further community service initiatives are necessary to explore the long-term impacts of this environmental education.

Researchers in an Indonesian community turned plastic trash into "ecobricks" — plastic bottles tightly packed with non-recyclable waste — and used them to build garden features instead of letting the waste pile up or get burned. Beyond just cleaning up litter, the project got people thinking differently about their trash habits, showing that hands-on community projects can build lasting environmental awareness. Less loose plastic waste sitting around also means less of it breaking down into microplastics that can end up in soil, water, and eventually our food and bodies.
