The production process of Crude Palm Oil (CPO) generates solid wastes such as empty fruit bunches, fibers, shells, and sludge, which have not been optimally utilized. This study aims to identify the types of solid waste produced, evaluate their current handling practices, and determine appropriate utilization strategies using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and questionnaires administered to supervisors and foremen at PTPN IV Regional II PKS Pagar Merbau. The analysis results show that the highest-weighted criterion is environmental effectiveness (0,34), and followed by regulatory feasibility (0,29), and then processing technology (0.22), and the last cost effeciency (0.14). The prioritized strategic alternative is composting (0,35), and then the utilization of waste as boiler fuel (0.34), and the last is briquette production (0,3). This study concludes that using solid waste as boiler fuel is the most feasible strategy and best aligns with the company’s needs.
