Abstract

Eco-enzyme is an active ingredient from organic waste that can be used for various daily purposes such as fertilizer, herbicide, cleaning fluid, and even medicine, this is because it contains Lactobacillus, Asotobacter xylinum, yeast fungi, and lactic acid bacteria, enzymes (such as protease, amylase, lipase), minerals, and secondary metabolites (such as polyphenols, alkaloids, antioxidants). By utilizing ecoenzymes optimally, it will support the use of household organic waste with an environmentally friendly concept. And this is also an effort to reduce disruption to the environment due to landfills, which can be done by utilizing household organic waste to make eco-enzymes.

Organic which is oriented towards maintaining a clean environment. The first method used was socialization and continued with presentation of material about what eco-enzymes, why we need to develop them, how to make eco-enzymes and how to use them.
