Reactivation of the Gumuruh Village Community in Bandung City Based on Creativity Through the Exploration of Plastic Waste into Commercial Products

Abstract

Plastic waste is a huge environmental problem in lots of countries, and improper handling of this garbage 
puts ecosystems at risk. Upcycling plastic may help save natural resources, cut down on carbon emissions, and lessen 
waste and the need for new manufacturing. Significant economic benefits are also derived from recycling, which 
produces high-quality commercial goods, especially in the furniture sector. In order to create sustainable goods, people 
in Bandung's Gumuruh Village aggressively recycle rubbish, including biological waste. In order to design goods that 
will be offered to the community, academics and local SMEs collaborate using the Design Thinking approach to 
Service Learning.
