The implementation results show that the activities carried out are very beneficial for the community because the concept used is to realize an independent village for living needs in the form of vegetables and the demand for substitutes for kerosene and gas through plastic bottles waste refining. The method used in implementing this PKM is participatory, namely the involvement of the community and students. This method is used because the PKM carried out by the team relates to empowerment.
