Abstract

Abstract – The usage of baby diapers without proper disposal and processing can lead to environmental pollution. This issue also occurs in Padukuhan Sengir, Kalirejo Village, Kokap District, Kulon Progo Regency. The problem of used baby diapers, which are non-organic waste, remains unresolved in Padukuhan Sengir. The local residents often dispose of these used diapers irresponsibly, leading to potential sanitation pollution or burying them in the ground, which might be dug up by wild animals, creating unpleasant sights. This project aims to minimize and address the used diaper waste problem in Padukuhan Sengir by providing socialization and training to the community on how to utilize and process used baby diapers into economically valuable crafts such as flower pots. The method used includes conducting outreach and training by involving the community in the activity of making flower pots from used baby diapers. The results show that the community can process disposable baby diaper waste into useful and economically valuable items such as flower pots.
