Optimalisasi Pengelolaan Sampah dan Edukasi Berbasis SDGs di SMKN 12 Tangerang

Abstract

The "Bank Sampah” Program at SMKN 12 Tangerang Regency is an initiative to support environmental sustainability and integrate the circular economy concept with the education system. This program plays a role in managing waste effectively through collecting and exchanging plastic bottles with economic benefits for students and schools. However, challenges such as waste sorting that is not optimal, recording transactions that are still manual, and limited supporting facilities are still the main obstacles. To overcome this problem, intervention was carried out in the form of modernizing the recording system through digitalization, improving supporting facilities, and strengthening environmental education. Apart from that, this program also covers environmental-based entrepreneurship aspects through training in making eco enzymes from food waste, which provides insight and skills for students in developing sustainable business opportunities. Through an educational and applicable approach, this program has succeeded in increasing the effectiveness of waste management, instilling an environmentally based entrepreneurial spirit, and broadening students' insight into the benefits of digital population administration. The evaluation shows an increase in students' awareness of environmental issues and the economic potential of waste management. The results of this program emphasize the importance of integrating environmental education, entrepreneurial innovation, and digitalization support in creating a more efficient and sustainable waste management system
