Plastic waste is currently a very serious problem, not least in Indonesia context. Awareness efforts regarding the reduction of plastic waste is important to introduce since preschool. This study was conducted to describe the efforts made in raising awareness of plastic waste management since preschool as an effort to support the Sustainable Development Goals, namely SDGs 6: Clean Water and sanitation; SDGs 11: Sustainable Cities and communities; SDGs 13: Climate Action; and SDGs 14: life below water. Narrative studies were conducted in this study. The narrative study approach in this context is used to understand the teacher's experience in applying ecobricks creation as a solution in reducing plastic waste to preschool children, especially those aged 5-6 years. Respondents explained the efforts made in raising awareness of waste plastic management since preschool. The results show that processed plastic waste can be recycled into a variety of APE creations by preschool-aged children. Ecobricks as a plastic disposal action carried out by preschoolers will help the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals 2030, especially the environment such as reducing waste disposal into drains and rivers, as well as reducing air pollution caused by burning waste. © 2025 Institute of Physics Publishing.
