Indonesia is now one of the main destinations for the banana distribution network. Previous research related to the use of banana barks has opened up opportunities and potential for the development of functional product designs, which in turn facilitates the downstream process of cross-institutional multidisciplinary collaborative research concepts in the Banana Smart Village (BSV) sustainable program. This paper focuses on examining the zero-waste concept in utilizing banana barks into functional and craft products through a Product Design approach. The outputs of this research activity consist of the process of documenting the processing of banana barks into functional craft products and the assessment of zero waste concept in post-harvest training activities for local villagers related to production capacity, knowledge transfer process, and work efficiency.
