The seminar was then continued with the presentation of the material by the first resource person, namely Dr. Ir. Nurzainah Ginting, M.Si who is also the Coordinator of UI GreenMetric, University of North Sumatra. He presented material entitled "Utilization of Eco Enzyme Products in the University of North Sumatra". He talked about the USU campus's efforts to create a campus that cares about the environment, such as a program for making eco enzymes to be distributed to government agencies such as the Medan Animal Husbandry Service which is used as a disinfectant. The presentation of the material was continued by the second resource person, namely Siska Alicia Farma, S.Pd., M.Biomed. He brought material with the title "EcoEnzyme Making Practices" which here explains about food waste that has not been processed optimally, especially in Indonesia. Eco Enzyme can then be a solution to dealing with organic waste which is much more useful than just being made as compost.
The last presentation of material was delivered by Dr. Veronica A. Kumurur, S.T., M.Si. He shared about his experience in making Eco Enzyme which has created a new community about Eco Enzyme in North Sulawesi. This community itself has carried out many activities by utilizing organic waste / waste in the city of Manado, even though it was only formed in 2021. The webinar itself got even more exciting with the question and answer session that was held, where the number of participants who attended reached 300 people, the maximum capacity of the number of participants who could participate.
