Abstract

A socialization and practical program for making environmentally friendly candles from used cooking oil has been implemented in Makmur Jaya Hamlet, Sangkima Village, Sangatta Selatan District, East Kutai Regency. This activity aims to raise public awareness about the dangers of used cooking oil to health and the environment and provide practical skills with economic value. The activity was implemented in three stages: preparation, socialization, and hands-on practice. During the socialization stage, participants received material on the health risks of repeated use of used cooking oil and the impact of pollution if disposed of carelessly. The practical stage involved the process of clarifying used cooking oil and making candles with the addition of paraffin wax, crayons, and essential oils. The results of the activity showed increased public knowledge, high enthusiasm from residents, especially those in Makmur Jaya Hamlet, and technical success in producing quality candles. This program is educational while also opening up opportunities for environmentally-based creative businesses. Thus, this community service activity in Sangkima Village is effective in raising environmental awareness and providing practical solutions for the sustainable management of used cooking oil.
