Plastic waste, particularly plastic bottles, has become one of the major challenges in urban environmental management due to its increasing volume and potential to pollute ecosystems. In Bogor City, plastic waste constitutes a significant proportion of daily municipal solid waste, highlighting the need for effective and sustainable waste management models. This study aims to analyze the role of the Reduce, Reuse, Recycle Waste Processing Facility (TPS3R) in managing plastic bottle waste in Bogor City, with a case study of the Eco Techno Park at Ibn Khaldun University (UIKA) Bogor. The research employed a descriptive qualitative method using a case study approach. Data were collected through field observations, in-depth interviews with facility managers, and reviews of relevant documents and literature. The findings indicate that the TPS3R Eco Techno Park has successfully implemented the 3R principles through an integrated system supported by environmentally friendly technologies and a circular economy framework. Plastic bottle waste is managed through sorting, shredding, and recycling processes to produce value-added products, including plastic pellets, handicrafts, and construction materials. In addition, organic waste management is integrated through the cultivation of Black Soldier Fly (BSF) larvae. The facility has contributed to reducing the volume of waste sent to landfills by approximately 18%. The study implies that strengthening regulatory support, enhancing community participation, and developing circular economy-based business models are essential to ensure the long-term sustainability of waste management programs and support Bogor City's waste reduction targets.

The analysis results showed that the use of BSF larvae had a positive and significant effect on the achievement of fresh maggot bioconversion production, as evidenced by a significance value of 0.001 (<0.05) and a calculated t-value of 8.793 (>2.306). The research findings also indicated that the scale and quality of kitchen organic waste play a significant role in increasing the effectiveness of bioconversion. This study concluded that the use of BSF larvae is an effective and sustainable method in processing kitchen organic waste and has the potential to support waste reduction while meeting the need for high-protein animal feed.

Black Soldier Fly (BSF) larvae, or maggots, are a type of insect currently widely cultivated, primarily for animal feed. This is because BSF larvae contain essential nutrients such as fat and protein in high amounts, thus improving the nutritional quality of livestock that consume them. Therefore, the processing and preservation of maggots is crucial to maintain their nutritional content and extend their shelf life. One method used in maggot processing is drying. Drying aims to reduce the water content in the larvae, thereby preventing the growth of microorganisms that cause spoilage. One widely applied technique is drying using a microwave oven. However, before the actual process is carried out, simulations are often required to determine the distribution of heat and humidity. Simulation is one of the most effective ways to predict the drying performance of biological materials. This study used a simulation using the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) method operated by Comsol Multiphysics 6.2 software. The parameters used in the simulation were an initial maggot temperature of 80°C, a drying time of 15 minutes, and a heat source of 1300 W/m³. Based on the simulation results, the final water content of the maggots was below 10%. Furthermore, the final relative humidity of the maggots ranged from 10–35%, while the final temperature of the larvae increased to 93–97°C. These results indicate that microwave drying can effectively reduce moisture content while maintaining the nutritional quality of BSF larvae. These simulation results can be used as a basis for practical maggot drying processes, thus supporting the production of efficient and nutritious animal feed.  

One method of drying Black Soldier Fly (BSF) larvae that can be applied is drying using a continuous microwave oven. This tool utilizes microwaves emitted to evaporate water. In addition, the use of a conveyor that runs on a microwave oven as a medium or place to place BSF larvae is expected to simplify the production process. This study was conducted to determine the design and strength analysis of the thermal structure of a continuous microwave oven-type BSF larva dryer using Solidworks software. The specifications of the continuous microwave oven-type BSF larva dryer have a capacity of 15 kg, a heating input power of 8 KW and a temperature of 100℃. With variations in heating time of 20, 30, and 40 minutes. The results of the thermal structure analysis of the BSF larva dryer type continuous microwave oven based on the simulation obtained stress with the highest value of  and the lowest value of . The results of the displacement simulation with the highest value of  and the lowest value of . The Safety factor simulation result is 3.2. So from the simulation results it can be said that it is safe to continue to the manufacturing process.

This study aims to determine the phytochemical content of Black Soldier Fly (BSF) larvae extract, also known as Hermitia illucens. The maceration method with 96% ethanol solvent was used for extraction, followed by evaporation using a rotation evaporator. Qualitative phytochemical tests were carried out to identify compounds such as alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, terpenoids, polyphenols, steroids, and triterpenoids. The results showed that BSF maggot extract contained alkaloid and flavonoid compounds that were positively detected, while other compounds were not detected by the method used. The alkaloid and flavonoid content has antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. These results indicate that BSF larvae can function as a source of natural biopharmaceutical active ingredients. However, the type of solvent used and the process conditions used affect the success of the extraction.

Maggots are larvae of the Black Soldier Fly (BSF) which have benefits as waste decomposers and have high potential as feed ingredients. This study aims to analyze the effect of power and time on maggot drying using microwaves. Using the Computational Fluids Dynamics (CFD) method on microwave heating with a power of 2000 watts and 2500 watts, and a residence time of 10 minutes, 20 minutes, and 30 minutes, then the final maggot temperature was tested. The results showed that the final temperature of the maggot tended to increase with increasing power and residence time. This happens because high microwave power provides large energy in a very short time. This energy is efficiently absorbed by maggots through the mechanism of dipole rotation and ionic conduction, causing molecules to vibrate and rub with high intensity. The final temperature of the maggot is between 110oC-125 oC with the highest temperature at a power of 2500 and a drying time of 30 minutes.

Organic waste management is an important issue in addressing environmental problems. One potential solution is bioconversion technology using Black Soldier Fly (BSF) maggots that can break down organic waste and produce larvae with economic value as animal feed. To increase the selling value and extend the shelf life, BSF larvae need to be dried using tools such as rotary dryers. This study aims to design and analyse the strength of a rotary dryer machine frame for maggot drying with a Finite Element Analysis (FEA) approach based on SolidWorks software. Simulations were carried out on several materials: ASTM A36, AISI 1020 Steel, and AISI 1045 Steel. The analysis results show that all materials are within safe limits based on Von Mises stress, deformation, and safety factor. AISI 1045 steel material gives the best performance with Von Mises stress of 14.238 MPa, deformation of 0.59 mm, and safety factor of 7.2. These results show that AISI 1045 steel is the most recommended material for the rotary dryer frame.

Suboptimal waste management in Kalijoso Village, Secang District, Magelang Regency, is a critical issue that impacts environmental sustainability and public health. The inefficiency of conventional waste disposal methods has led to increased waste accumulation, soil and water pollution, and the spread of diseases, which has significant consequences for local communities. To address these challenges, the local government and community organizations have embraced the principles of the 3R (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) through a transformation of traditional waste disposal sites (TPS) into 3R TPS. The new approach focuses on sustainable waste management practices that reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills. One of the key strategies implemented is educational outreach to raise awareness about the importance of waste segregation and recycling. Additionally, training programs have been conducted to teach the community how to process organic waste, particularly through the cultivation of maggots using Black Soldier Fly (BSF) larvae. This method not only helps reduce the volume of organic waste but also provides a practical solution for transforming waste into valuable resources. The maggots cultivated during the demonstration are used as animal feed, which creates a sustainable circular economy within the community. Furthermore, composting organic waste results in high-quality compost that supports local agricultural activities.
