The learning process plays a crucial role in developing character values, including environmental care value. Given the critical importance of the environment to human existence, addressing the increasing environmental challenges today requires the integration of environmental education into core learning processes. Developing learning that promote environmental values is essential for effective implementation. This study aims to: (1) develop a Green Education model through Eco-Clubs for students at Universitas Negeri Malang (UM), (2) evaluate the effectiveness of the Green Education model through Eco-Clubs for students, and (3) assess the wastepreneurship skills of students’ participation in the Green Education model through Eco-Clubs. The study employed a Research and Development (R&D) methodology utilizing the Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation (ADDIE) model. The research subjects were students of UM enrolled in the Entrepreneurship course. Data analysis employed a mixed-method approach. Results indicate that the Green Education model implemented through Eco-Clubs significantly enhances students’ wastepreneurship competencies. Achieving successful environmental projects requires high levels of cooperation, creativity, and a strong sense of environmental responsibility. These factors significantly influence students’ ability to address environmental issues, particularly waste management, both on campus and within the community. Furthermore, the implementation of the Green Education model using Eco-Clubs has enhanced student engagement in environmental initiatives, yielding beneficial outcomes for both the campus and broader community stakeholders. © 2026 by the author(s).
