Abstract
Household waste is the largest contributor to Indonesia^s waste management system, accounting for 44.37% of the national waste volume (KLHK, 2024). East Jakarta, as a densely populated area, faces similar problems with increasing waste volume and low public participation in waste reduction. The Family Welfare Empowerment Organization (PKK) plays a strategic role as a community change agent, but limited access to training has hindered its contribution. The Zero Waste Craft community service program was conducted at SKB 33 East Jakarta, involving 30 PKK cadres, lecturers, and students from Universitas Negeri Jakarta. The implementation methods included coordination, socialization of the zero waste concept, practical training on waste-based crafts, application of simple technologies, distribution of educational media, and the formation of practice-based communities. Evaluation was conducted through observation, questionnaires, and short interviews. The results showed that 90% of participants successfully produced at least three types of recycled products, such as shopping bags made from sachet plastics, flower vases from used bottles, and tissue holders from newspaper. Furthermore, the program initiated the formation of an environmental awareness cadre community and produced academic outputs, including a scientific article, copyrighted educational poster, and documentation video. The discussion highlights that experiential learning and community empowerment approaches are effective in enhancing skills while building ecological awareness. This program not only strengthened PKK cadres^ capacity but also supported SDGs (Goals 11 and 12) and MBKM policies in higher education. Therefore, Zero Waste Craft has the potential to serve as a replicable model for other urban areas facing similar household waste management problems.
