Abstract

Pineapple is one type of tropical plant that is widely spread in Indonesia. Pineapple plants are easy to grow in various types of climates and soils, East Java is no exception. The processing of pineapples into food and beverages in Indonesia has been widely carried out, including PT Putra Jaya. In its production, PT Putra Jaya produces waste in the form of liquid waste from washing and solid waste in the form of pineapple leaves, pineapple skin from cuttings, pineapple pulp left over from cooking pineapple juice. Of the three wastes, there are several wastes that cause odors and can attract flies, including pineapple peel waste and pineapple pulp waste. Therefore, there is a need for waste treatment at PT Putra Jaya. In this study using the Composite Performance Index (CPI) method and the Hayami Method. There are three alternatives proposed, namely animal feed from pineapple peel waste, fertilizer from pineapple peel waste and meat tenderizer from pineapple peel waste. The results of the CPI method used to determine the application of clean production are the first rank of liquid fertilizer with a value of 344,441. In the second rank is animal feed with a yield of 340,280. The third rank is meat tenderizer with 284,151 results. From these results, an alternative liquid fertilizer was chosen which has the opportunity to be applied as waste treatment for clean production at PT Putra Jaya. The added value analysis of the selected alternative is Rp. 14.79. The alternative liquid fertilizer from pineapple peel waste is produced in 1 liter packaging at a price of Rp. 20,000.
