Therefore it is very important to recycle and reuse the handmade. The present study is an applied one that has been done with a descriptive-analytical approach. The method of gathering information is based on library studies and field research which uses the method of interviewing and photographing in the field method. The results indicated that the handmade had the power and ability to return to nature, so recycling is important. Therefore, they are closely related to the goals and components of sustainable development.
