Plastic waste has become a serious issue for environmental sustainability due to its inability to decompose naturally within a short period. The accumulation of plastic waste has negative impacts on ecosystems, human health, and environmental quality. One potential solution is the development of environmentally friendly food containers made from natural materials. This study aims to analyze the quality and durability of biodegradable food containers made from banana sheaths, bamboo sheaths, and bamboo leaves. The research employed a true experimental method with randomly assigned objects to compare the three materials based on four main indicators: (1) mechanical properties (compressive and flexural strength), (2) water resistance (water absorption rate and leakage resistance), (3) heat resistance (stability at temperatures ranging from 40–80°C), and (4) biodegradability (decomposition rate in soil over a period of 20 days). Data were collected through direct observation and analyzed qualitatively. The results showed that food containers made from bamboo sheaths exhibited the best structural stability, as indicated by a low water absorption rate (1%) and the ability to remain intact after a drop test from a height of 2 meters. Meanwhile, containers made from banana sheaths demonstrated the fastest biodegradation rate within 20 days, both visually and structurally, making them the most promising material in terms of environmental decomposition. Therefore, the utilization of natural materials not only reduces dependence on single use plastics but also produces functional products with economic value.
