ABSTRACT
With the current push to boost plastics recycling rates, the low-hanging fruit of clean mono-streams of plastic garbage has long been picked. If Telkom University's ambitious recycling goal is to be one of Indonesia's Green Campuses, plastic waste streams that have previously been classified as ‘problematic’ and routinely sent to cremation must also be examined. With the slogan “Save Planet, No Plastic,” Yayasan Pendidikan Telkom (Telkom Educational Foundation) increases environmental awareness through a creative campaign. The author was experimenting with plastic rubbish treatment. One such stream is the frying of plastic garbage to create a liquid substance that can be molded into novel products. Following that, the design from recycling technique was effectively applied to developing a new product to promote healthy living, a push-up bar. The plastic-made portable push-up bar design was created efficiently and was beneficial in minimizing stress on the targeted muscle groups and joints.
