Industrial Revolution 4.0, accompanied by an environmental crisis, shows that modernization and technological sophistication do
not make harmonization between nature and humans more closely intertwined. is harmony needs ecological consciousness
nurtured from an early age which is a challenge for the Industrial Revolution 4.0. Using technology in this research aimed to
examine enhancing student environmental awareness affected by ecolabel with web-based augmented reality at elementary
schools in Setia Budi subdistrict in South Jakarta in Indonesia. Environmental awareness of the students was indicated by student
environmental action related to solving the environmental problems, environmental manner of doing environmental activities,
and noble values of sustainability to have conservation. is research population is elementary school students in Setia Budi
subdistrict in South Jakarta in Indonesia with simple random sampling utilizing the Slovin Formula sampling technique. Data
analysis procedure executed independent samples t-test. e decisions reveal that the average value for environmental awareness
for the experimental class arrives at 56.406, significantly larger than that for the control group of 55.063 at a 0.05 significance level.
e investigation found that ecolabel using augmented reality attached on the website can raise student environmental awareness.
1. Introduction
e Industrial Revolution 4.0 produced many advanced
technological inventions having the impact of rapid changes
altering human civilization. is advancement can assist
daily human activities more effectively and efficiently.
However, these advantages also have negative influences and
threaten the ecological domain, including environmental
destruction. e ability of the environment to support the
lives of humans and other living creatures mostly depends
on commitment and adherence to regulations in accordance
with the design of the Industrial Revolution 4.0. In fact, it is
not certain that industry players can do this. is is what
makes Industry 4.0 a separate hope and challenge for all
nations in the world. e causes of environmental damage
can be the result of natural events and human activities.
However, if examined further, disasters involving floods,
abrasion, forest fires, and landslides could have occurred due
to human intervention as well. Generally, the damage caused
by humans is even greater than the damage caused by
natural disasters. is is because the damage done can
happen continuously and tends to increase. is damage is
generally caused by human activities being not environ-
mentally friendly, including forest destruction and forest
conversion, mining, and air, water, and soil pollution.
1.1. Environmental Awareness. Detrimental effects of hu-
man activities can be restrained by the improvement of a
thorough understanding of surroundings. ere are many
studies related to awareness of nature. Implementing ef-
fective environmental education can increase the cultivation
