The utilization of Bio-nanocomposite material that was derived from pineapple leaf fiber as filler and tapioca starch with
plasticizer glycerol as a matrix for food packaging can reduce the use of plastic that usually was made from petroleum
materials. It is important to develop and producethis environmental friendly plastic because of limited availability of
petroleum nowadays. The process of synthesize and characterization tapioca starch with the plasticizer glycerol bionanocomposites
using print method had been conducted. There were 3 samples with different filler concentration
variation; 3%, 4% and 5%.The results of mechanical test from each sample showed that bio-nanocomposite with 5%
filler concentration was the optimum sample with 4.6320 MPa for tensile strength test and 24.87% for the elongation
test. Based on the result of optical test for each sample was gained that along with the increasing of concentration filler
would make the absorbance value of the sample became decreased, bio-nanocomposite with 5% filler concentration had
several peaks with low absorbance values. The first peak was in 253 nm of wavelength regionwith absorbance of
0.131%, and the second peak was in 343 nmwavelength region and absorbance was 0.087%.
