Organic waste management in schools remains a pressing environmental concern that affects cleanliness, health, and the comfort of the learning environment. Many schools still rely on burning or burying organic waste such as leaves and food remnants, leading to air pollution and unpleasant odours. At the same time, science teachers and students generally lack entrepreneurial and technical skills to transform waste into value-added products. This community service programme aimed to foster greenpreneurship among science teachers and students through school-based innovation in environmentally friendly organic waste management. Using a participatory P4-E approach—Training, Practice Implementation, Marketing, and Evaluation—the programme involved 50 participants from the Science Teachers’ Working Group (MGMP IPA) and students of SMP Negeri 1 Slawi, Tegal Regency. Activities included compost production training using EM-4 biofermentation, hands-on compost processing and packaging, digital marketing, and financial management workshops, followed by sustainability evaluation. The results demonstrated a marked improvement in participants’ skills and awareness of sustainable waste management. They successfully produced high-quality compost, designed creative packaging, and marketed products via social media. Overall, the programme enhanced ecological literacy, technical competence, and eco-entrepreneurial skills, contributing to the achievement of SDGs 4, 8, 12, and 13 through sustainable education and environmentally responsible school practices.
