Abstract This research originated from the concern of researchers looking at the activities of students in schools that still use plastic during snacks in the school canteen. Excessive consumption of plastic results in a large amount of plastic waste. Because plastic is not derived from biological compounds, plastic has properties that are difficult to degrade (non-biodegradable). Plastic waste has a negative impact on the natural environment, which most people use as a means of fulfilling their daily needs. Seeing these conditions, it is necessary to have a learning that can foster the ecological awareness or ecoliteracy of students by utilizing nature which in this case is the oen iboh plant (iboh leaf) which is used as a container for food and snacks for students in the school canteen.
