Coconut is very familiar in the daily life of Indonesian society because of the potential of coconut to enhance the welfare of society and is promising to expand employment. Various commercial products from highly diverse palm bio other than food and beverage products.

Due to physical and chemical properties of coconut coir fiber is used as raw materials began industrial carpet, upholstery, vehicle dashboards, mattresses, pillows, and hardboard. A group of students majoring in physics education that is Sulanjari FMIPA UNY, Nurul Muyasaroh Risky Wulandari and coconut coir as a tool to engineer a dishwasher because the coconut coir fiber has a fine pore structure and can also absorb water well. This creativity to fruition with funding from Higher Education to expand its business.
Sulanjari a reason to choose coconut coir as a tool for dishwasher dishwashing sponges are usually made of foam that can not be decomposed so that pollute the environment, being biodegradable coconut coir waste so as to enrich the soil and even reduce the effects of global warming. Additionally habit of leaving a sponge in water dishwashing soap is less precise because bacteria can grow in water. Moreover, if the water is in contact with the foam that has been used to wash the resulting sponge will be met by the bacteria. If the sponge is still used for washing dishes, the dishes became a nest of bacteria. Therefore, it is advisable to replace sponges regularly, at least once a week. Replacement sponges are often done will add to environmental pollution by synthetic waste. Risky Wulandari added when the sponge is made of coconut fiber will not pollute the environment because the coconut coir can contain substances that nourish the soil and can withstand water content and chemical fertilizers and can neutralize soil acidity. When the sponge dishwasher from coconut coir is if it is not used anymore can be discarded on the ground because it has proven to nourish. This is much different if the synthesis is not biodegradable sponge that will pollute the environment. How to make said Nurul Mulyasaroh the dried coconut coir and then separate the outer shell of the coconut husk and cut into pieces using scissors jumbo size 10 cm x 7cm x 3 cm. Once the new packaged ready to use plastic that has been product name.
