IMPLEMENTATION OF CLEAN PRODUCTION IN MICROBUSINESS LOCATED IN WEST JAKARTA
Abstract
This study explores the implementation of cleaner production (CP) principles in microbusinesses in West Jakarta through a community training program led by the University of Mercu Buana in collaboration with BRIN and PNM. The initiative aimed to address operational inefficiencies and environmental challenges faced by micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), particularly in urban areas. The training engaged 25 local entrepreneurs—primarily women—in food, trade, and craft sectors, many with limited education and resources. Participants were introduced to CP strategies such as waste reduction, energy efficiency, and resource optimization, tailored for small-scale businesses. The interactive sessions emphasized sustainable profitability, lifecycle thinking, and practices like composting and greywater reuse. Feedback and follow-up mentoring revealed strong interest in adopting CP and identified key challenges including limited funding, digital skills, and raw material access. The program successfully built awareness and practical knowledge, showing that participatory, localized approaches—paired with mentorship—can promote both environmental and business resilience. Expanding technical demonstrations, peer learning, and supportive policies will be essential to sustaining and scaling CP adoption in MSMEs.
