Reconditioning commercial vehicle booth from industrial bakery waste to support herbal products distribution in Menik Jaya Community Group
Abstract
The Menik Jaya Community Group faces constraints in distributing herbal products, impacting sales quality and quantity. Long distances, limited transportation, and weather-related product damage pose significant challenges. Additionally, bakery industry fiberglass booth waste presents an environmental issue. This community service aimed to address these problems by: 1) Providing more effective distribution through two-wheeled commercial booths; 2) Recycling fiberglass booth waste into functional commercial booths; and 3) Enhancing the group's herbal product marketing capacity. Methods included socialization, booth-making training, and commercial booth utilization assistance. Results yielded environmentally friendly commercial booths, improved distribution efficiency, and increased community income.
