the community, but still very simple. Thecommunity make the waste to make thecompost mixture, but in the process the wastepiled up in advance amounted to much. Theimpact is make the bad view, and in theaccumulation of the highly pungent smell dueto the persistence of the essential oils that arenot perfectly distils that interfere with thesurrounding air. Later, due to of the otheraccumulation is the water accumulation.Possibly, due to rain water that seeps inlandfills vetiver it can seep into the soil anddisrupt the existing groundwater conditionswhich in the beneath. Following theaccumulation, the people burn it. Followinghoarding, the people and then burn it. Here theproblem arises again, the smoke produceddisturb the surrounding air and can causerespiratory infection. Therefore, furtherresearch is needed to solve these problems witheco-friendly principles.The purpose of this activity are to overcome theindustrial waste of vetiver treatment withoutthe continues pollutant, to get the view aboutthe mix pot from the vetiver waste technically,and know the quality pot that made from wastevetiverBased on empirical observation we get theinformation that vetiver waste is still a problemfor the environment around them because of thebad smell and bad view. The most simple andquickly done by the most farmers in agroindustrialcenters vetiver to handling of vetiverwaste is by burning so the smoke that producedmake the pollution impact.One alternative solution to overcome thisproblem is with analyze the waste material thatis used as a raw flower pot material. It isnecessary to look at the possibility of wasteutilization so that it can overcome thesignificant environmental issues surroundingthe vetiver oil refining industry. In addition, itis expected to add the value of vetiver waste asan additional income for farmers andindustrialists vetiver.MATERIALS AND METHODSThis research were conducted in the centra ofvetiver waste production which is manage byVetiver Uras Cooperation Bayongbong District,Garut Regency during February until May2012. This research use descriptive method438with material characteristic analysis and presstesting in Material Test Laboratory Departmentof Mechanical and Biosystem, and seepagetesting in Cikabayan Green House Laboratory.Department of Agronomi and HorticultureDepartment, Bogor Agricultural University(IPB).RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONSWaste handling that conducted in the field isstill inadequate and still cause pollution, inconnection with the burning of waste after thedistillation process is often done by manyfarmers (Figure 1). Smoke produced stillcontains essential oils so smell of smoke morepung ent. (Kastaman, 2003).Figure 1. The Vetiver Waste Management by Burningthat Caused a Lot of Negative ImpactThe negative impact by (Kastaman, 2003) isthat currently felt by the public about wastemanagement with burning among others: airpollution, water pollution by residual materials/ waste, plants in around the pile of wasteexperiencing barriers to growth, need extensiveburning land so that the land is less productive.The Production of Vetiver Waste PotThe first step in the manufacture of vetiverwaste pot is cut the vetiver into small pieces,The materials that is specified the mixturestirring until evenly (for the composition, themain dough: vetiver waste, cement and sand,while the coating dough: white cement, traso,and mil) then Prepare the pot mold and lid theflower pot mold, used motorcycles oil (grease)to lubricate the pot mold that that will be usedto make the pot. This is to facilitate theseparation of pot from from the mold, theoriginal pot is not sticky Then, put the doughinto the mold and trim while holding andrubbing to get a solid pot and a surface flat. Thecoating dough that contains of mixture waterlubricated to the surface of the pot mold, this isto give color to the outer surface of the pot
