The increasing accumulation of organic waste and the widespread use of synthetic odor absorbers have encouraged the development of environmentally friendly alternatives. Banana peel waste is one of the abundant agricultural wastes in Indonesia and contains lignocellulosic compounds with adsorption potential. This study aims to engineer an eco-friendly odor-absorbing product using banana peel waste and evaluate its odor adsorption performance. Banana peels were processed through cleaning, drying, grinding, and simple activation treatments before being formulated into odor-absorbing products. The products were evaluated based on odor reduction effectiveness and product stability. The results indicate that banana peel-based adsorbents possess promising odor adsorption capabilities and can be used as sustainable household odor absorbers. This innovation contributes to waste valorization, environmental protection, and the development of low-cost bio-based products.
