Abstract
Food wrappers that are usually used to wrap food, in fact, are very dangerous for health. All types of plastic are made from crude oil with a mixture of various toxic chemicals. There are several solutions to overcome plastic waste. Among all the solutions, there is one of the easiest solutions for us to do together, which is by promoting environmentally friendly programs. One example of this program is by adopting a tradition from Japan called furoshiki. This tradition uses cloth as a wrapper. In fact, in Indonesia, especially in Central Java, the cloth used as a wrapper has existed a long time ago. The mothers of batik traders or other material traders also use cloth as wrappers. Even this is still seen in Yogyakarta. Therefore, it would be wise if we, as the next generation, reuse cloth as wrappers for goods to avoid all risks that can harm our bodies and people around us. The most important thing from furoshiki is the concept of repeated use, means that furoshiki is not only used for once but used repeatedly. Using furoshiki means reducing the use of new material for packaging so that it can reduce excessive packaging use
