Abstract

The way of managing plastic bottle waste so far is dominated by the landfill method. This open dump technique endangers the environment and the surrounding community. This study discusses how the Reverse Vending Machine (RVM) simultaneously contributes to sociopreneurs solving environmental, economic, and social problems. This study was carried out qualitatively by following the Design Thinking procedure. Based on the analysis of data obtained during the Empathize, Define, Ideate, and Prototype phases, this paper concludes that RVM's contribution to the character of sociopreneurs does not begin with changes in consumer behavior toward plastic bottles (although the change also arises due to the introduction of RVM to the public). RVM-mediated sociopreneurship develops in two ways, namely: a). Ownership of Reverse Vending Machine machines, and b) purchase of RVM-output plastic pellets by Startups, MSMEs, artisans, and other business units that empower communities to obtain financial profits.
