If the TKKS can be used as a fiber, it can help solve one of the problems Agro Wira Ligatsa plant in the form of waste. One way that can be done to deal with waste in the form of palm oil by processing the TKKS is to be material in the form of fibers, the weaving technique and the use of qualitative research methodology that directly conduct interview, literature studies, experiments and observations. Potential TKKS still not well, so as to be used as a textile material for home living products, esspecially in the living room will raise the value of local knowledge and natural resources that have not been treated optimally as a textile material.
