Abstract
Plastic waste (PW) is a classic problem for the environment that causes contamination of both soil, water and air, because plastic cannot be decomposed naturally in the soil. However, in people^s lives today, almost all packaging products, household appliances, electronic equipment and so on are made of plastic.An advantage that is generally made of plastic can be recycled so that this step can reduce the burden of environmental pollution. Plastic waste recycling (PWR) techniques can be processed into plastic seeds again, so that they can be re-produced into other products according to the quality of the recycled plastic seeds. In this community service activity, the researcher intends to share knowledge and experience with business actors who have carried out plastic waste recycling activities and provide theoretical knowledge about the characteristics of plastic according to its type, calculation of cost efficiency operations and its marketing potential. The method used in the program to utilize plastic waste that is processed into plastic pellets is through surveys, situation analysis and discussions. The implementation of the results of the plastic waste processing in Dadap Tangerang Village is carried out to improve the creativity and skills of residents in managing plastic waste so that it adds economic value and provides new job opportunities. At the same time, this activity can minimize environmental pollution so that residents can be more concerned about the plastic waste that is thrown away by the community.
