TIMESINDONESIA, GRESIK - Residents of Manyarejo Village, Gresik Regency, East Java, are trained in entrepreneurship. They were trained to use cooking oil waste into washing soap.
The trick, cooking oil waste soaked in smoldering charcoal for one night. After that NaOH chemicals are mixed as well as coloring agents and deodorizers. Then the cooking oil waste is stirred so that the mixture is evenly distributed. If the soap mixture has been planted, pour the mixture into the prepared mold.
Soap that comes out of the mold must pass through the curing period for six weeks. After going through this process, soap can be used immediately.
Responding to the training on the utilization of cooking oil waste into washing soap, Manyarejo Yudiono Village Head said dozens of people were invited to learn about the use of waste in the local village hall.
