"This workshop is very important to increase public awareness of environmental cleanliness, both around their homes and in the Jakarta area in general," she said.

A total of 160 participants participated in hands-on training, producing 16 gallons of eco-enzyme. During the training, participants learned about the eco-enzyme production process, utilizing household organic waste, specifically fruit scraps mixed with molasses and water.

"These ingredients are then put into a container, mixed with water, and fermented for approximately three months," she added.

The results of eco enzyme fermentation can be used for various household needs, such as floor cleaning fluid, and help reduce unpleasant odors in rivers and waterways.

Meanwhile, Assistant for Economic Affairs and Development of the South Jakarta City Administration, Iwan K Santoso, emphasized that the eco-enzyme production movement is a concrete step in supporting the waste reduction program from its source as instructed by the Jakarta Provincial Government.

"This movement is a real effort to support the policy of sorting and reducing waste from the source," he stated.

The government also continues to promote the construction of jumbo teba or biopores in various areas of South Jakarta.

According to him, successful waste reduction requires the active involvement of all elements of society.

"Starting next August, the volume of waste that can be sent to the Bantar Gebang TPST will be even more limited and will only be allocated for residual waste. We encourage all residents to actively sort and reduce waste from home," he appealed.
