Abstract

Plastic waste is one of the environmental problems that has not been optimally addressed in Bulakan Village. Training in the manufacture of paving blocks from plastic waste through the Community Empowerment Program by Students (PMM) of Muhammadiyah University Purwokerto was carried out as an effort to improve skills and manage waste based on a circular economy. This activity was carried out through several stages, including planning, socialization, the handover of hot mixer equipment, the provision of materials, and the practical production of paving blocks. The results of the activity showed an increase in the knowledge and skills of the participants based on a comparison of pre-test and post-test results, as well as the participants' success in independently practicing the production process. Additionally, this program has a positive impact on partners and the community by transforming plastic waste into useful products and creating new business opportunities for the community. This training demonstrates that plastic waste can serve as an alternative building material while supporting waste reduction at the village level.
