Abstract

The growing population can have an impact on the pressure on the availability of natural resources. So the need to encourage industry, business, and consumers to recycle and consume responsibly is one of the 17 Global Goals laid out in the Sustainable Development Goals of SDGs 2030. The problem of used cooking oil waste is one of them. The PkM program is a means of education on waste treatment. The application of circular economy  and ecopreneurship aims to minimize the use of materials and resources. The methods to be used in this program are counseling, training, mentoring and evaluation. The expected output target is to provide knowledge, training, business incubation for ecopreneurs and assistance in making aromatherapy candles. SMAN 3 Serang City and SMAN 6 Serang City were targeted in counseling as well as the practice of making aromatherapy candles made from used cooking oil waste. Of the 120 students involved, only 37% (44 people) understood this. After the presentation, the students' knowledge increased by 61% (73 people). These young people become  the successor agents of the flow of information and education to their family and social environment from the results of strengthening the circular economy
