COCOPOT: INOVASI MEDIA TANAM RAMAH LINGKUNGAN DARI SABUT KELAPA DI PONDOK PESANTREN AL-MIMBAR

The cocopot-making training at Al-Mimbar Islamic Boarding School, Sambung Dukuh, Jombang, East Java, is part of a community service program that aims to utilize coir waste and improve the entrepreneurial skills of students. The pesantren is located near Pasar Legi, where many coconut traders produce waste in the form of coconut fiber. Through this training, students are taught to process coir into cocopots, which are eco-friendly plant pots made from coconut fiber. The training involved several stages, including counseling on the benefits of cocopots, cocopot-making practice, and mentoring during the production process. The results of this training showed an increase in santri's knowledge and skills in processing waste into products of economic value. In addition to providing an environmentally friendly alternative to pots, this activity also contributes to the economic empowerment of pesantren by opening new business opportunities. This training successfully achieved its main objectives of increasing environmental awareness and entrepreneurial skills among santri, as well as promoting the use of natural biodegradable materials as a solution for waste management around the pesantren.
