As people's consumption levels increase, the plastic waste produced will also increase. It's normal if in the future it becomes a serious environmental problem. We need a technology that is able to replace plastic waste into products that have a long life so that they do not return to waste in a short time. Making paving block products from plastic waste is another way of utilizing plastic waste over a long period of time, in order to increase utilization efficiency and reduce the environmental burden on plastic waste and form innovative products into building materials. The most important problem with plastic is plastic waste which cannot be decomposed naturally. Cleaning up plastic waste takes a very long time, and also the use of plastic can hardly be regulated. Based on the results of surveys, interviews and observations conducted on the community around Kuala Village, the community's awareness of waste processing is very minimal and there are lots of piles of plastic waste which can have a negative impact on health and disrupt the preservation of environmental functions, including residential environments, forests, rice fields, and rivers. To reduce the volume of plastic waste that is not managed properly, efforts are being made to utilize plastic waste to make paving blocks in Kuala Lemang Village. to explore the potential for using plastic waste as an alternative material in making environmentally friendly and sustainable paving blocks. Plastic waste collected from the surrounding environment is processed into mixed materials in making paving blocks. This process involves chopping, mixing with conventional materials such as sand, and testing the strength of the final product. Public acceptance of plastic-based paving blocks has proven positive, especially after trials in the local environment. This research contributes to better plastic waste management and offers new economic opportunities in the construction sector, while supporting sustainable development.

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.

The small number of people cultivating horticultural crops, especially vegetables, means that people can only buy vegetables to meet their vegetable food needs, where the main factor for this is the decline in the area of productive land used as agricultural land and cultivation caused by the growth of population density in Indonesia. Therefore, the solution to the existing problem is to provide openness of insight and assistance in utilizing narrow land for plant cultivation. One way to cultivate plants is by using the vertical cultivation method. In implementing this activity, the aim is for Kalijudan residents to have knowledge about the vertical cultivation system and plastic bottle waste management. The implementation of this activity uses the method of socialization and training activities or direct practice. Where, the target audience in the practice of this activity is elementary school students and Kalijudan residents. From the results of the discussion, it was concluded that this activity is useful because it can introduce residents and change the condition of the Kalijudan sub-district which was originally a narrow land without plants into a narrow but green land. In addition, this vertical cultivation activity also has benefits in reducing plastic waste that accumulates in the Kalijudan environment.
