Abstract
Bio-remediation is one technique to reduce environmental pollution and renew soil with the help of microorganisms and plants. The process carried out includes detoxification of toxic chemicals by cleaning the environment naturally and economically. This study aims to identify waste recycling, modification of ecology-based farming systems, and test traditional plants as a source of bioremediation. Then, bacteria and bioremediation results will be used as liquid fertilizer. Liquid fertilizers are processed through bioremediation techniques, then reused as nutrients for organic cosmetics plants. The research method is carried out qualitatively and its application is in a polluted environment. The research findings state that there is a positive impact on reducing environmental pollution, especially in reducing the volume of waste and the smell of garbage. Meanwhile, the success of bio-remediation in liquid fertilizer depends on the Hydrogen (H2) cycle. In addition to H2, there are carbon (C), sulfur (S), and nitrogen (N) during the bio-remediation process which encourages the bio-remediation of liquid organic fertilizer to be able to fertilize the plant source of organic cosmetics. Thus, cosmetics can be said to be organic as a whole.
