Abstract: The quantity of plastic waste remains a crucial problem for the community in Cenrana Village. Because of the lack of public awareness of the dangers of plastic waste, handling is carried out only in the form of burning. However, its handling is still considered ineffective. Therefore, this PKM program was implemented to provide a solution for the reduction of plastic waste through the manufacture of press bricks, an environmentally friendly building construction material. The implementation method is carried out through three main stages, namely, counseling, training, assistance, through these three main stages, partners can innovate themselves and even improvise themselves regarding the use of plastic waste into press bricks as a form of handling the quantity problem that partners have been facing. Through the creative recycling of plastic waste, we can expand the scope of applicationstion and create new opportunities in the circular economy.
