Abstract: Abstract The waste problem in Indonesia remains a significant challenge. Many people are still undisciplined in disposing of waste in its proper place. Rivers, which should function as channels for water flow from one area to another, have been turned into dumping grounds. This issue is a collective responsibility. The lack of public awareness about the negative impacts of waste, especially plastic waste, poses risks to health and the environment. In fact, plastic waste can be processed by all levels of society to create valuable products and even open up business opportunities. This research aims to identify talent, creativity, and innovation in creating new marketable products from plastic waste to reduce its negative impacts. The research method used is a quantitative approach with a one-shot case study design. Data collection techniques include questionnaires, interviews, and observations, involving 10 informants as samples. Data analysis techniques used include validity tests, reliability tests, normality tests, homogeneity tests, hypothesis testing, and descriptive analysis. The research results show: (1) the presence of environmental intelligence values that can be applied through inorganic waste management to reduce waste; (2) the existence of social character values in social entrepreneurship that emerges from waste management activities, such as concern for others and solidarity; and (3) a relatively adequate level of efficiency based on the prerequisite test analysis. Therefore, efficient inorganic waste management can foster social entrepreneurship by enhancing environmental intelligence and creating a clean, comfortable environment that supports improved social life.
