In an era like today because the dump of chemical materials and the other products that can be recycled or can not be decompose quickly by the soil is already too much, until it's stacked and causing new problems for the environment. Whereas now the use of natural materials is being loved by every level of the small or the big industries, because the natural materials are tends to be more environmentally friendly and can be recycled quickly by the soil compared to the plastic materials and another materials if it doesn't mixed up with the chemical materials. Some products are already developed with the natural materials like the plant fiber, as example is the fiber of kenaf plant (Hibiscus Cannabinus). With the kenaf plant fiber material that is already through the exploration process or material experiment. It was determined that material exploration with lamination process uses PVAC glue is strong enough and can be formed according to the material capacity of the kenaf's fiber itself. Therefore/thus the purpose of the material exploration can be developed to make an environmentally friendly product. The product that developed using the fiber of kenaf plant is a kitchen spice storage container. The purpose is becuase of the kenaf plant fiber has a flexibility that's easy to be formed and strong and environmentally friendly properties. The benefits of the product which developed from this kenaf plant fiber is giving the function to the kenaf fiber and giving more value to the kenaf fiber, that the kenaf fiber can be developed into the raw material of a product.
