Plastic Waste Product Development: Environment Preservation Efforts

Abstract

Every human being takes responsible to the development of environmental preservation. An effort which can be applied in enhancing the environmental quality is to create an innovation dealing with waste processing as well as providing education to the society concerning environmental preservation. One of the dangerous waste products which can affect environmental preservation is plastic waste product. A team of researches developed plastic waste products into certain products which are eco-friendly and consist of economic value. Some training and education concerning the development of plastic waste management was held to teenagers aged 6-18 years in Suling Wetan Village. The number of participants of the study consisted of 30 teenagers. The finding suggests that during the training and education, teenagers tend to develop both of their soft skills and recreative value. Such training and education in waste product development can boost the society’s productivity especially for teenagers and children which receive beneficial skills for them to create products that hold reduce, reuse and recycle principles.
