Coconut (Cocos Nucifera) is a highly nutritious plant, and it is the 
community’s choice to quench thirst as well as for medical purposes. 
However, used coconuts are often overlooked for their usefulness. It 
continues to be dumped in landfills and becomes a breeding ground for 
mosquitoes. Dried coconuts are also usually burned and cause air pollution 
as well as carbon production, which is harmful to our health. As our school 
is located near the jetty, shrimp shell waste was also one of the problems 
that occurred. It increases eutrophication, biological oxygen demand (BOD), 
and chemical oxygen demand (COD) when released into water. This has a 
negative impact on other aquatic life due to the increase in mineral and 
nutrient levels, especially nitrogen and phosphorus, because of the 
excessive disposal of marine life waste. In addition, the negative effect of 
hypoxia, which reduces oxygen in the water, causes aquatic animals to die. 
In the agricultural sector, plastic polybags are materials that have non
biodegradable properties. Plastic polybags are a type of polythene product 
that uses raw materials such as high-density polyethylene (HDPE), low
density polyethylene (LDPE), Linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), and 
Polypropylene (PP). In the agricultural sector, the use of polybags has a 
negative effect on large-scale use. Disposing of plastic polybags after 
planting will interfere with tree growth because plastic polybags do not 
dissolve in the soil. The CoMo Gen-2 integrates the use of Moringa Oleifera 
leaf powder, a highly nutritious superfood, as organic fertilizer. Besides, 
shrimp shell powder as a source of chitosan is very effective in activating 
chitin-eating bacteria in the soil, saving plants from pests and diseases, 
improving, and nourishing the soil, and being a natural organic fertilizer. 
Experimental methods have been used to obtain data during the production 
of this innovative product. The cultivation of Athenanthera Sissoo sp. 
(Brazilian Spinach) was conducted using a comparison of two types of 
polybags, namely plastic polybags, and CoMo Gen-2. Four aspects, which 
are water resistance, leaf color, number of leaves, and tree condition, were 
considered during the experiment, and the results showed a significant 
difference when using the CoMo Gen-2 product. This product is produced 
with coconut husk, egg boxes, eggshells, dried Moringa Oleifera leaf 
powder, shrimp shell powder, and eggshell soaking water finely ground 
using a blender (the grinding process). The result of the grinding is placed 
on the outside of the cup as the base of the mold, and the potato flour acts 
as a natural adhesive (an adhesion process). The resulting mold will then 
be dried under sunlight (the drying process). This product also acts as a 
natural organic compost and potting fertilizer. As a result, the seedlings that 
have been sown can be directly planted in the soil without having to remove 
the layer that protects the soil, such as a layer of plastic polybags. CoMo 
Gen-2 is a product with improved content to produce a product that is more 
sustainable and fully beneficial to plants. It is also the best choice to produce 
organic polybags instead of plastic polybags because they are 
environmentally friendly, low-cost, and ensure sustainability.pe Your Abstract Here!
