Keywords:
Ecobrick, Plastic Waste, Citarum RiverAbstract
Ecobrick is waste management method in which plastic bottles are filled with
inorganic waste until they are solid and compact, aiming to reduce plastic
waste and recycle it into something useful. This activity was carried out in the
Citarum River Basin, Karawang Regency, West Java Province, from October
2018 January 2019, as part of Citarum Harum program. The program
included Ecobrick creation training to support river water cleaning efforts.
Observations were conducted through field surveys, interviews, and FGD,
with evaluations using questionnaires before and after socialization. The
results showed that while participants not directly dispose of waste into the
river, they still accumulated waste in vacant land around their homes. The
socialization increased participants' knowledge of the benefits of Ecobricks for
environmental cleanliness and encouraged them to be more active in creating
Ecobricks and maintaining cleanliness. The program also raised awareness
about the importance of sustainable and eco-friendly waste management.
