Abstract

Construction and building waste have stimulated an environmental movement; from reuse and recycle activities to the development of biodegradable materials, these features have stimulated an instant trend in the global world. Conventional building material contributes to more pollution and warmer environment, and some may contain toxic or dangerous substances that can be harmful to humans and other organisms. This paper investigates three potential biodegradable materials that are easily found in Indonesia, namely: pineapple fibre, “Nata de Coco”, and recycle paper. This study aims to create a base that is to develop more advanced biodegradable material research in the near future. The experimentation is planned to be possible at home or small industry; it is economical and userfriendly and can be equipped with simple instruments like household utensils. By doing so, the research intends to target a bigger audience for implementation, as the material can be easily produced and used at the domestic level. This method uses a trial to set the basis and development of biodegradable building material samples. Steps are generally divided by two: basic tests (heating, cooling, roasting, drying process) and starter (preserving, decomposition, reunification process). The result is a kick-starter in a powder form, tested to produce sample material sheets in order to present the prospective development of Indonesian biodegradable building materials.
