The Organic Waste Management Task Force Team Provides Training on Waste Management at Patehan Village, Kraton, Yogyakarta

News ReleaseWaste Management Friday, 28 June 2024

On Wednesday (22/5), the Waste Management Task Force from the Faculty of Biology, UGM, conducted training on organic waste management for residents of Patehan Village, Kraton, Yogyakarta. The training was guided by Harjito and Nanang, who were directly supervised by the Task Force Chairman, Soenarwan Hery Poerwanto, M.Kes., and attended by 15 people, led by Mrs. Sri Marpinjun.


This training was a response to a request letter from the residents of Patehan Village. “We have tried composting with various methods, but there are still many challenges that weaken the residents’ enthusiasm,” said Sri, explaining the reason for the training request. “The long decomposition time in our densely populated housing creates problems,” Sri added. The Waste Management Task Force from the Faculty of Biology, UGM, has a formula that can accelerate composting, namely Bioferti 2023. Composting with the Bioferti 2023 probiotic formula from the Faculty of Biology, UGM has proven capable of degrading organic waste in about 7-14 days, with organic fertilizer content of N (2.70%), P (0.62%), and K (68.3%), which meets organic fertilizer standards.

The mentoring program of the Organic Waste Management Task Force in Patehan Village, Kraton District, Yogyakarta, is one of the efforts to achieve SDGs 3 (Good Health and Well-Being) and SDGs 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities). “We hope that the residents of Patehan Village will carry out organic waste composting independently, thereby reducing the burden of waste management and even becoming an example for residents in other villages in Yogyakarta,” said Hery, concluding the training (dus).
