This community service activity aims to empower the residents of Bondol Village through training in making handicrafts from banana midribs and plastic waste. The method used was workshops and hands-on practice with intensive assistance from the KKN student team. The training process included raw material processing (drying and preparing banana midribs; cleaning and cutting plastic waste), basic weaving and assembling techniques, and product finishing. The results showed high enthusiasm from the participants, especially the PKK women's group, who successfully created various handicraft products such as piggy bank and flower decorations. Participants were able to master the basic techniques and understand the economic potential of the products. The conclusion of this activity is that the training successfully changed the community's paradigm towards waste, improved creative skills, and opened new entrepreneurial opportunities in the creative economy sector based on local resources. Keywords: Banana Midrib Crafts, Plastic Recycling, Creative Economy

Review

The paper, titled "WORSKHOP PEMBUATAN KERAJINAN DARI PELEPAH PISANG DAN LIMBAH PLASTIK SEBAGAI UPAYA PEMBERDAYAAN EKONOMI KREATIF DI DESA BONDOL KECAMATAN NGAMBON KABUPATEN BOJONEGORO," presents a highly relevant community service initiative focused on leveraging local waste resources for economic empowerment. The abstract clearly articulates the project's aim: to foster a circular economy at the village level by transforming banana midribs and plastic waste into valuable craft products. This aligns well with current global sustainable development goals, offering a practical and localized approach to waste management and income generation, particularly benefiting women's groups in rural settings. The methodology employed, involving workshops and intensive hands-on practice with support from KKN students, appears appropriate for skill-building within a community context. The detailed description of the training process, from raw material preparation to finishing techniques, indicates a comprehensive approach to knowledge transfer. The reported high enthusiasm, particularly among the PKK women, is a positive indicator of engagement and the project's immediate impact. However, for a more robust academic assessment, future reporting could elaborate on the specific challenges encountered during training, the duration of the workshop, and more granular metrics of skill acquisition beyond "mastered basic techniques" to provide a deeper understanding of the program's effectiveness and replicability. The activity successfully led to the creation of various products and the participants' ability to grasp fundamental craft techniques, shifting their perspective on waste. The conclusion that the training successfully altered community paradigms, enhanced creative skills, and unveiled new entrepreneurial avenues is well-supported by the described outcomes. To further strengthen the paper's contribution, future work could explore the long-term sustainability of these entrepreneurial opportunities, including strategies for market access, pricing, and scaling up production. Quantifying the potential economic uplift and tracking the post-workshop entrepreneurial activities of participants would provide valuable insights into the broader impact of such initiatives on local economic growth and the creative economy sector.
