PEMANFAATAN SAMPAH PLASTIK SEBAGAI PENGHASIL BAHAN BAKAR ALTERNATIF DI DESA CLAKET

Abstract

ABSTRACT
Claket is a fairly developed village with tourism as one of its popular commodities. Consequently, it is not surprising that there are lots of garbage in Claket, including plastic waste. While the nature of a plastic waste itself is difficult to decompose and takes a very long time to decipher, many residents prefer to throw the garbages to the trash bank to be sold, or simply burn them. However, burning the garbage is not a solution. Garbage will only shrinks, it will not disappears altogether. Likewise the trash bank, selling garbage is also a less profitable solution because the profits from selling garbage are too little, just enough to be used for the trash bank itself. In this article, a solution is offered for waste by making it an alternative fuel in the form of gas which can later be sold again and can be a source of additional income for the people of Claket.
Keywords: Trash buildup, Trash banks, Alternative fuels.
