Community in Brabe Village Encouraged to Manage Household Waste Through Eco Enzyme Program

PROBOLINGGO Thursday, May 14, 2026 — In an effort to raise public awareness about the importance of proper household waste management, a practical training activity on waste management flow, household waste handling, and Eco Enzyme production was held for the residents of Brabe Village, Maron District, Probolinggo Regency.

The event, which was carried out enthusiastically, was attended by village officials, PKK women’s groups, youth organizations (Karang Taruna), and local residents. During the activity, participants were given direct understanding about how to separate organic and inorganic waste, proper waste management processes, and hands-on practice in making Eco Enzyme from household organic waste such as fruit peels and vegetables.

Eco Enzyme itself is a liquid produced through the fermentation of organic waste and has many benefits for daily life and the environment. For household purposes, Eco Enzyme can be used as a floor and bathroom cleaner, odor remover, and drain cleaner.

Meanwhile, for the environment, the use of Eco Enzyme can help reduce the volume of organic waste disposed of in landfills (TPA), reduce environmental pollution, and help lower gas emissions produced by waste decomposition.

The activity also received attention and support from various parties who attended directly at the location, including Maron Subdistrict Secretary Mr. Wawas, Commander of Koramil 0820/21 Maron Captain Arh. Murianto, S.T., M.M., Head of Waste Management Division of the Environmental Agency (DLH) of Probolinggo Regency Mrs. Mishul Saudiyah Fitriawati, S.H., M.M., Head of Pokja III TP PKK of Probolinggo Regency Mrs. Titin Arif, Babinsa of Koramil 0820/21 Maron Sergeant Rustam, Head of Brabe Village Sunardi, Brabe Village officials and Karang Taruna members, Chairperson of PKK Brabe Village, TP PKK Brabe Village, as well as staff from POMI Paiton Probolinggo.

Commander of Koramil 0820/21 Maron Captain Arh. Murianto, S.T., M.M. stated that this activity is very important in fostering a culture of cleanliness and environmental awareness within the community.

“Through this training, it is hoped that the community will better understand the importance of proper household waste management and be able to utilize organic waste into something beneficial through the production of Eco Enzyme,” he said.

Meanwhile, the Head of Waste Management Division of the Environmental Agency (DLH) of Probolinggo Regency also appreciated the enthusiasm of Brabe Village residents who actively participated in the training and hands-on Eco Enzyme production practice.

With this activity, it is hoped that the people of Brabe Village will be able to independently implement waste management practices in their respective environments, creating a cleaner, healthier, and more environmentally friendly community.
