INTERNATIONAL COURSE OF ONE ASIA COMMUNITY IN 2019 "TONGBU FOR ECOBRICK"

Abstract

Reduction in the use and processing of plastic waste is a big problem in Indonesia. Piles of plastic waste mixed with organic waste into a source of disease. Because of the decomposition of the plastic waste is very long, plastic described in 1 millennium or about 1000 negative tahun. The negative nature of the plastic can be used to make a durable ecobrick.Ecobrick resistant plastic waste recycling solutions by introducing and compacting waste plastic into bottles, the result will be used as a substitute batubata`. Great ecobrick the standard minimum size ecobrick 1500ml bottle must have a minimum weight of 500gram and 600ml size bottles must have a minimum weight of 200gram. 0.33g / ml is the minimum density ecobrick nice and 0.7 g / ml maximum. Minimum weight = Volume of bottle x 0:33. To test the density, we can squeeze the bottle from the outside. Ecobrick good is when the bottle will not be flat and not make a sound when pressed down.To make good ecobrick bottle and weighed according to the standard it used tongbu (bamboo stick). Tongbu (bamboo sticks) is made of a series of bamboo with a knife. The type of bamboo used bamboo Tamiang and bamboo irateun because having a diameter corresponding to the width of the bottle, which is about 2-4 cm. In addition, because bamboo is a natural resource that can be refurbished and are organic so it will decompose properly in nature. By using the process of cutting out junk tongbu manually can be done automatically, just by entering the garbage into the bamboo tube of plastic waste will be cut by a knife that is on the tip of the bamboo automatically. Furthermore garbage that has been cut will be solidified by the end of the bamboo that has been made to resemble the shape of an umbrella. This is so that pressure can be evenly distributed throughout the cross-section of the bottle and trash compacted perfectly. The purpose of using tongbu (bamboo sticks) to make it easier and save time in the manufacturing process, resulting in a bottle ecobrick accordance with the standards and personal awareness to be responsible for the trash self.So spirit for processing plastic waste is maintained.
