Abstract

Coffee grounds are often overlooked because they are considered to have no practical value. In fact, coffee grounds actually have many benefits for improving soil quality. Therefore, a program was held for the utilization of coffee waste in Sirukun Village. The existing coffee waste is transformed into liquid organic fertilizer, commonly known as POC, and also into scented candles. This community empowerment program involves 25 farmers from the RT 02 RW 03 Sirukun Village farmers' group. This program is conducted thru training and socialization methods held on August 14, 2025. The outcome of this program is the availability of liquid organic fertilizer and scented candles made from coffee husk waste, which are of good quality and ready to use. And also community empowerment to develop coffee waste into items with high use value. This program can also be one of the steps to reduce pollution and promote sustainable development programs.
