Increasing consumer demand, including in the fashion sector, is directly proportional to the waste generated. Unconsciously, the fashion industry is one of the contributors to global pollution. One of the contributions is with a sustainable fashion. Awareness of environmental sustainability encourages environmentally friendly clothing styles become more popular. Designers are competing to make design collections with sustainable materials, It is the ecoprint fabric motif. Ecoprint means the technique of making motifs on cloth by tracing the leaves and then boiling them. Almost 100% of ecoprint fabrics are made using natural materials that are biodegradable. Creating fabrics with ecoprint motifs requires fabric materials derived from natural fibers, both plant and animal fiber. The dyes used come from nature, including from stems, leaves, flowers, fruit skins which when boiled are able to produce the same colors as chemical substances. The motif from leaves that produce natural colors, arranged in such a way is created kind of motif formation. Experimental methods of various in arranging leaves and flowers will produce unique different styles of motifs. Ecoprint as an alternative to sustainable Indonesian ‘Wastra’ expected will become more popular because of the uniqueness of the motifs, sustainable and the high selling price.

Based on the experimental study about corncob conducted before, this village has managed to create a new breakthrough production of processed foods such as corn chips since 2003. The foods that use raw materials of corn is the only one in Probolinggo. Corn chips production as small industries is run by 7 women farmers starting in 2008. (Wahmuda, 2013). The problem of this industrial activity is unbalancing the marketing area with market demand that obstruct continues to increase. This causes decrease on the productivity of the industry. In addition corncob waste left over from a small industrial activities corn chips squashed every day as much as 60 kg. This would be a major obstacle when marketing targets to reach market demand. As a result of waste corn cobs will be more numerous and uncontrolled, even less the corn cob waste is only used as cooking fuel. This research includes experiments on corn cobs process is divided into several stages, namely the process of forming, heating, curing, mixing and merging material, as well as coloring. From the research-based experiments, it turns out corn cobs to have a variety of characteristics. The uniqueness and characteristics process of corncobs, can give some variant forms such as cubes, cylinders, triangles, and a chopped form. Of these forms can be created several patterns of merger between a very interesting form to be used as a hanging lamp shade products. In the manufacture of a hanging lampshade required supporting materials such as iron chandelier hook pipe diameter of 16 mm and an iron plate with a thickness of 3 mm. Innovation alternative these products will continue at the stage of the development process of product design by using corn cobs as raw material products with the hope to utilize more leverage on how to process forms such a way into a useful product in terms of people's needs, aesthetic value and become friendly products environment.

Fenomena food waste di Indonesia mencapai 300 kg sampah makanan per orang setiap tahun, sehingga menempatkan Indonesia pada posisi peringkat kedua di dunia dalam jumlah food waste kategori besar. Keadaan tersebut  menjadi sangat memprihatinkan, karena akan memicu kontra produktif dimana satu sisi terjadi ketersediaan makanan yang berlebih, sementara di sisi lain masih didapatkan kondisi sebagian masyarakat yang masih kekurangan makanan, sehingga terkesan ada indikasi perilaku yang menyia-nyiakan makanan. Oleh karena itu melalui penelitian ini berdasarkan pendekatan kebijakan yang ada, bagaimana membangun pengelolaan sampah yang baik dan efektif, khususnya sampah makanan dengan cara melakukan perubahan gaya hidup (life style) terhadap makanan yang dikonsumsi secara bijak yang ramah lingkungan namun tidak membebani dengan sampah makanan (food waste) yang berlebihan sebagai dampak dari perilaku hidup konsumtif masyarakat dengan kebiasaan-kebiasaan yang tidak memberikan daya dukung terhadap penguatan ketahanan pangan dan kelestarian lingkungan yang berkelanjutan. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan yuridis normatif (normative legal research), serta dengan mengkaitkan sikap dan perilaku masyarakat terhadap kebiasaan-kebiasaan dalam keseharian. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya kecenderungan inefisiensi pada pola konsumsi dan produksi bahan makanan telah melahirkan timbunan sampah makanan yang mengakibatkan pemborosan sumberdaya dan pencemaran lingkungan.
