Abstract
The problem of plastic waste at the community level is a crucial issue in the context of
sustainable development, particularly in areas lacking a structured waste management
system. This community service program aims to implement ecobricks as an appropriate
technology that not only focuses on waste reduction but also fosters community-based
environmental accountability. The program was implemented through a one-month
Community Service Program (KKN) in August at Bapuh Bandung Glagah, using a
participatory approach based on participatory action research. The program included local
needs-based planning, field observations, implementation of ecobrick practices, and
assistance in simple recording of environmental activities. Results indicate changes in
community behavior regarding waste management, increased utilization of plastic waste into
functional products, and the emergence of initial awareness of the economic and ecological
value of waste. The program also demonstrated that integrating technical practices with the
development of value awareness can produce more sustainable impacts. The novelty of this
community service program lies in the integration of appropriate technology with the
establishment of a community-based environmental accountability system. This model has
high potential for replication to strengthen sustainable development at the local level.
