The Waste Bank Program is an initiative aimed at managing household waste in a more effective and environmentally friendly manner. This program not only seeks to reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills but also to empower communities by adding economic value to waste. Through this program, communities are encouraged to collect and sort waste, which can then be exchanged for money or valuable goods.
Socialization
The goal of socialization is to raise awareness and encourage community participation in the Waste Bank Program. Through awareness campaigns and community meetings, people are invited to understand the environmental and economic benefits of the program, so they are not only educated but also motivated to actively participate and become committed members.
Technical Training
This training aims to provide practical knowledge and skills to participants in waste management, sustainable business development, and community empowerment towards greener and more prosperous neighborhoods. The training will cover important topics such as: structure and organization of waste banks, business marketing tips and tricks, business processes, plastic sorting and utilization, and more.
