Raya Darmaga Kampus IPB Darmaga Bogor 16680, West Java, IndonesiaCorresponding author email: meylinda.cs48@yahoo.comEssential oils of vetiver is an industrial and trading commodities in the international market that plays an importantrole for the perfume, medicine, and cosmetic industries. But the distillery for 12 hours from 1 ton vetiver produced only4 liters of essential oil and of course a lot of waste that has accumulated. The purpose of this research are to overcomethe industrial waste of vetiver treatment without the continues pollutant, to get the view about the mix pot from thevetiver waste technically and to know the quality of the pot made from vetiver waste. Making the sample is started withthe selection between the burnt vetiver waste, cement and sand. Then making sample with the form like a pot that hasthe up diameter (31,3 cm), the bottom diameter (20,3 cm), highty (30 cm), and the mass of vetiver waste pot (5,52 kg)and the mass of reguler pot (5,36 kg). From the research that has been done, it can to get the conclusion that the vetiverwaste pot has better quality than the reguler pot (cement pot). It reviewed from the power of the vetiver waste pot has apower until (583,78 kgf), while the reguler pot has just (410,34 kgf). Besides, this pot can save up to 30% of the cost ofproduction and exactly it eco-friendly.Key words: Vetiver waste, pot, commodities, eco-friendly, saved cost.INTRODUCTIONNowadays, West Java agribusiness and agroindustryhas not treated optimally, but actuallybased on natural characteristics and thediversity of natural resources are verysupportive. It is not surprising if it is used as atarget in the strategic plan of the futuredevelopment in of West Java province, with theagricultural sector (agribusiness and agroindustry),which became the leading sectors ofWest Java, especially in increasing revenue. Italso wants to be a mainstay of the localgovernment in improving IndonesiaDevelopment Index (HDI), especially inovercoming the impact of the prolongedeconomic crisis today (Kastaman 2003).Essential oil is a commodity industry and tradein the international market plays an importantrole, especially as industrial raw materials thatcan reach billions of U.S. dollars. For instance,the price of 1 ounce of vetiver oil could reach25.4 U.S. dollars. If the value is in theexchange rate of the rupiah in it, so for 1 ounceoil it can be range on Rp.228.600,-or USD2,286,000.00 per kilogram of material(Kastaman, 2003).437So many essential oil in Indonesia, such aspatchouli oil, clove oil, vetiver oil, lemongrassscented oil, eucalyptus oil, ylang oil and manymore. One of the efforts to further develop thepotential of essential oils, especially vetiver oilin Garut Regency, this time in the ‘Uras’Cooperation in Bayongbong District, GarutRegency, has tried to build centers ofproduction and oil refining vetiver. Productvalue of Garut Regency vetiver oil. Annually,reach Rp22, 5 billion under management 1508farmers from an area of 1850 ha with a volumeproduct vetiver 31,450 tons per year and 25tons of oil per year (Between West JavaMagazine March 24, 2009, the value of vetiveroil product in Garut Regency is Rp 22.5 billion,Johny Dody Hidayat). While the distillationprocess each ton of vetiver for 12 hours onlyproduce 4 liters of oil at a price of Rp 900thousand per liter and production costs Rp 2, 25million, making it the benefit of farmers atabout Rp 1, 4 million (Haeruman, HeadPlantation Office Garut).However, the processing of waste volumecertainly gained considerable refining. Indeed,there are several ways of processing done by
