Abstract

The application of green chemistry is an effort to reduce the negative impact on the environment, one of which is eco-friendly dishwashing liquid soap. It hasn’t been commonly used by the public, including Roufus Sunnah Sucinaraja Garut Islamic Boarding School students. This community service activity aims to increase students’ knowledge about eco-friendly alternative chemicals in dishwashing liquid soap products.
