Abstract

The main problem of this research is the low knowledge of students about ecological intelligence in the concern for waste. This problem is caused by a lack of training in waste processing skills. Nowadays there are many ways to process various plastic waste and other non-organic waste into various handicrafts and artworks. The community makes it with various skill techniques into various kinds of objects such as bags, clothes, paintings of three-dimensional objects. This method must always be developed, because it is a creative and innovative way and is able to empower people to have various skills in waste management. One of the skills that can be used in waste processing is to make artwork using collage techniques. Collage is a work of art made from various materials such as paper, cloth, glass, wood, metal, plastic, seeds, dried leaves, which are affixed to the surface of certain images. Plastic waste and other organic wastes can be used as material to make collage artwork. The research method used in this study is a case study method, Data collection techniques carried out in this study were observation and interviews. Based on the results and discussion on the research conclusions of this study, namely: 1) the activity of making collages made from waste can improve the ecological intelligence of students, especially in terms of waste awareness. 2) Collage activities can train students to do waste separation based on their type. 3) Collage activities can train students to be able to recycle waste into something valuable and useful.
