1. Introduction

Population and economic growth are high in developing countries in Asia that is not balance with caring concern for industrial waste management resulted in the environment, one of the which is the high use of plastic packaging products. Packaging products with plastic material has some drawbacks which are not biodegradable itself, therefore it is necessary for the management of plastic waste. The main obstacle in most developing countries Including Indonesia are weak organization and the budget allocation to deal with plastic waste, while the alternative solution of handling plastic waste is to use the social and technical approach [1]. Based on research conducted in the area of Bali, the model of waste management that is based on social and cultural development is done adaptively, can provide economic benefits, a accommodate local labor and other social benefits such as health and aesthetics, and self-actualization in social and cultural activities [2].
Processing of plastic waste in Jakarta is still focused on the place - certain places, for example: at the site of Bantar Gebang. Plastic packaging products that we see most often are garbage cups or bottles of fresh water because the pattern of an increasing number of people are very practical or because of the unavailability of fresh water like in the Thousand Islands, many residents rely on fresh water packing for daily needs. Besides dikepulauan also be interesting sights that attract tourists to visit and bring plastic waste mineral water. Handling waste water glass packaging nothing directly by consumers home. Garbage is usually collected scavengers then do the chopping to pieces in the processing in final waste disposal (landfill). The existence of the landfill itself has limited land because of the difficulty of obtaining proper space and with distance from the city center, as well as the need for large funds for land acquisition landfill, are the external factors that influence the waste problem [3]. As If sold, the plastic cups of the former will be appreciated much cheaper when compared with the price of chips. Plastic cups if it had been crushed into small pieces price could reach twice as compared to its original value. The added value is the main attraction of waste plastics processing industry by utilizing scavengers and garbage collectors.
Increased recycling waste trade involving Asian countries may be a better choice, but the corresponding capacity, backed by the expertise and techniques necessary to build a model of modern waste management and environmentally friendly [4].
In this regard, it is necessary to waste management to an integrated management system, with a total ergonomic approach of integration between the micro and macro ergonomics. The integration of both bringing the framework in order to optimize the fit between people, technology and organizational [5]. The solution of that is providing technology that is suitable for the smallest organizations in waste management, namely households.
Processing waste of plastic cups that are now using a large capacity engine because the engine is in the market is the industrial scale and expensive. The large capacity makes it impossible to process the garbage discarded plastic cups of household. One home or office does not produce a lot of garbage plastic cups unless there is an event or activity that invites a lot of people. Based on this there needs to be the development of portable machine and cheap.
The study of the design thrasher trash has been done by Yamin et al. devoted to handle organic waste [6], as for the design of plastic chopper made by Rajagukguk, has a dimension which is not suitable for the micro scale [7], while Tushar Sane et al. recently conducted a study on the design and computational analysis [8]. Several studies discussing the plastic thrasher them done by Qomaruddin and Darmanto making machine just to cut the top of a plastic bottle [9]. While plastic chopper made by Nur. et al and Napitupulu. et al, all of which still uses an electric motor with a power greater than 2 kW that this makes these machines are not suitable for household or remote areas that are not contained electrical power [10, 11]. Studies on the mechanism of operation and type of crusher knife cut its noise making it unsuitable for use in dense residential neighborhood [12]. Mechanical model studies shredder plastic actuated manually by manpower conducted by Senthil Kannan. N, while at the design stage [13]. In this case the design and manufacture of plastic waste shredder is driven manually by human power and quite quiet so it can be operated dense environment is a suitable technology for the smallest organizations in waste management, namely households.
Anticipate problems of lack of space and the amount of plastic cups processing machines, then the solution offered is to innovate by creating a simple thrasher of plastic cups. Making the thrasher plastic cups machine, is expected to minimize the amount of plastic waste in Jakarta, especially in the thousand islands. In addition, with the thrasher plastic cups machine can be prospective opportunities for households to increase the yield of production waste recycling of plastic cups, without having to incur huge costs for investasi.

2. Method

The method used to this design is the method VDI 2221 (Verein Deutcher Ingeneure). The method VDI 2221 is one method to solve problems and optimize the use of materials, technology and economic conditions. This method is expected to facilitate designers to master the system design without knowing in detail [14]. The method VDI 2221 divided into several phases as follows:
1. Classification of the Task; This stage is the stage of gathering information and parse them into similar shapes and forms the basis of the specification, and identify constraints - constraints faced in order to achieve optimal solutions. Things to consider in making a distinction between the requirements specification list is whether demand or wishes. Demand is all the requirements to be met in the design and wishes a requirement in the form of desire and can be inserted through considerations - considerations. To help facilitate the preparation of specifications, use a checklist.
2. Conceptual Design. This phase contains a discussion of the problems of abstraction, making the structure function, then do a search matching problem solving principles and the combination of the principle of solving the problem (the concept of variance). The results of this phase in the form of basic troubleshooting or concept.
3. Embodiment Design. This stage contains a sketch of a combination of solutions that have created a form of the initial layout, then have qualified according to the specifications and good according to the criteria, both from the technical and economic aspects. Selected first layout will be developed into a layout so the (definitive) which is a form of design that suits your needs and expectations. Layout definitive includes some of the following:
Ÿ The shape of the elements of a product.
Ÿ The calculation techniques.
Ÿ Selection of shapes and sizes.
4. Detail Design. This stage is the final stage in the design. Detail design results in the form of documents covering machine image, detail drawing machine, parts lists, material specifications, operating system, tolerance and other documents which constitute one unit. Then do a re-evaluation of the product, whether it is true - it already meets the specifications given.

3.1.1. Clasification of the Task
This stage is the stage of gathering information and parse them into similar shapes and forms the basis of the specification. Early stage in the design of this, the initial specification set by taking into account the requirements of whether demand or wishes as shown in Table 1.
Table 1. The initial specifications
Furthermore, make a list of sub-function principle solution to select components that may be used in realizing the design plastic cups thrasher. If it has been obtained, the principle - the principle of such solutions need to be reanalyzed, where the principle of less useful solutions can be eliminated so that in the next concept design stage is not too much to evaluate. Once the principle of sub-function solution has been created, it is necessary to possible combinations, thus forming a system that most support in the form of several variants as shown in Table 2.
Table 2. Combination of Principle Solutions Sub Function
Based on the principle of a solution that has been done above, can be obtained by some combination of variation:
1. variation 1:A1→A2→A3→A4→B5 →B6
2. Variation 2:C1→C2→A3→A4→A5→B6
3. Variation 3:B1→B2→A3→C4→B5→B6
4. Variation 4:C1→C2→B3→B4→B5→C6
To determine the possible variation followed in this process, should be selected to the existing variations. One way in selecting variation can be performed using selection chart as shown in Table 3.
Table 3. Variation solution
In Table 3 shows that variants that do not meet the criteria for design is a variant of 2, 3 and 4. Taking into account that will be realized in accordance limits the design, selection of components are easily obtained, then the selected variation number 1. Variation 1 consists of manpower resources, mechanical drive, transmission gear chain, rotary motion and frame made of carbon steel.
3.1.2. Conceptual Design
The concept stage to discuss about issues of abstraction, making the structure function, then do a search matching problem solving principles and the combination of the principle of solving the problem (the concept of variance).
Design details include power calculations, calculation and selection of components - components for machinery, construction design and assembly. In planning this of plastic cups thrasher predetermined capacity of 2 kg/h, the initial capacity is needed as a basis for planning calculation.
• Cutting speed

- The length of the blade arc, p = 2 mm = 0.002 m
- High-blade, T = 3 mm = 0.003 m
- Thickness of blade, b = 4 mm = 0.004 m
- Theoretical capacity, assuming Q = 2 kg/h
- cutting speed
Ÿ Flatter speed
3.1.3. Embodiment Design
This stage contains a sketch of a combination of solutions that have created a form of the initial layout, then have qualified according to the specifications and good according to the criteria, both from the technical and economic aspects. Selected first layout will be developed into a layout so the (definitive) which is a form of design that suits your needs and expectations. Layout definitive includes some of the following:
• The shape of the elements of a product.
• The calculation techniques.
• Selection of shapes and sizes.
Packaging plastic cups is a very soft material. Based on the character of the material on the cutting tool planning must be extremely sharp, strong and selecting appropriate cutting angle so that the plastic does not slip in between the blade and easily sharpened. Also based on the purpose of designing this machine for household then design the cutting tool to be minimalist and economical.
The following is design thrasher blade of plastic cups for the household scale that has gone through the stages of planning design the most appropriate blade to smash plastic cups and minimize the components in the engine unit (fig. 2).
