Plastic waste is a common problem in all regions of Indonesia. As one of the largest contributors to plastic waste in the world, Indonesia faces a major challenge in plastic waste management. One creative solution that is gaining popularity is ecobricking, an environmentally friendly plastic waste management technique that turns plastic waste into strong and durable “bricks”. This research uses a qualitative method in the process, where data is taken through direct observation in the Rejosari village environment, experiment, as well as literature studies from books, journal articles, and other archives. Through the KKN work program, 84 ecobricks were successfully made by collecting plastic waste from grocery stores, food stalls, and markets. Approximately 7 kg of plastic waste has been absorbed for the needs of ecobricking. Overall, ecobricks have great potential in reducing plastic waste, increasing community awareness of the importance of waste management, as an environmental conservation effort, while supporting local economic empowerment.

Microenterprises in Desa Sumber are small-scale household businesses run by the local community. Based on the existence of businesses, there are SMEs that produce processed food and batik cloth. In the processed food business, problems arise related to the absence of assistance and business management to develop, so that the community conducts small-scale and limited household businesses. Problems in the batik business are weak competitiveness, the number of batik products produced, and the lack of marketing expansion. The solution applied in this community service is micro business empowerment activities carried out through data collection, partnerships, ease of licensing, institutional strengthening and coordination with stakeholders. Food processing training, branding and packaging training, and marketplace development training were carried out.

This study examines the application of Quality Engineering methods to Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) through a community service program. Using a qualitative approach based on literature studies conducted via a webinar at Universitas Sehati Indonesia (USINDO), the research explores how systematic quality improvement strategies can be introduced and adapted for MSMEs to enhance product quality and competitiveness, this study analyzed scientific publications, community service reports, and quality improvement program documentation from 2019-2024. The findings demonstrate that Quality Engineering principles-including Quality Function Deployment (QFD), Seven Basic Tools of Quality, and Statistical Process Control (SPC)-significantly enhance product quality when adapted to SMEs' specific contexts.

Gunung Mas District, Central Kalimantan Province, has serious concerns about stunting, with prevalence remaining high at both national and local levels. Stunting, as an indication of chronic malnutrition, requires effective interventions to improve this condition. One strategic effort is through the provision of nutritious complementary foods, with pumpkin as a potential local ingredient. Previous studies have shown that pumpkin is high in nutrients and effective in improving the nutritional status of toddlers. Universitas Palangka Raya, through the UPR 2024 Regular KKN Period I team, conducted education in Belawan Mulia Village to increase the local people's knowledge and skills on pumpkin-based complementary feeding. Implementation methods included education to the local people's forum and village institutions, along with the provision of complementary foods. The program results showed that the use of brochures and stickers were effective in spreading the information. The program succeeded in increasing the local people's knowledge, changing their feeding behavior, and contributing to the reduction of stunting and improvement of children's nutritional status.

Snacks among school children still contain many unhealthy ingredients (high sugar salt and saturated fat) fulfillment of the nutritional needs of school children can be achieved by changing to healthier snacks, one of which is snack bars. Fulfillment of nutrients in making snack bars can be obtained from local food ingredients, namely purple sweet potato flour and moringa seed flour. The aim is to determine the acceptability, nutritional content and antioxidant power of snack bar formula substituted with purple sweet potato flour and moringa seed flour as a healthy snack for school children.
