Abstract

Cooking oil is a basic requirement in food processing, but repeated use can result in oil damage and environmental pollution. Processing used cooking oil waste into aromatherapy candles is an alternative to reduce this negative impact. Aromatherapy candles have economic value and have the potential to be a source of additional income. This program aims to empower members of PKK in Glagahwaru Village to utilize the potential of used cooking oil waste and improve their welfare. The training was carried out through KKN activities involving the members of KKN in Glagahwaru and also the members of PKK in Glagahwaru. The implementation stages included observation, education, and training in making aromatherapy candles from used cooking oil. The research results show that aromatherapy candles from used cooking oil waste have economic potential and are environmentally friendly. This program is able to increase public awareness of the repeated use of cooking oil and reduce environmental pollution due to used cooking oil waste. Apart from that, the business opportunity of producing and selling aromatherapy candles is also an alternative income for PKK members in Glagahwaru village.
