Choosing Alternative Managements of Solid Waste from Tofu Producing Small and Medium Enterprises in East Aceh District by Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP)

. Many tofu is produced by small and medium enterprises (SME). The process of producing tofu the resulting output is tofu and secondary products. The secondary products are solid and liquid waste. The solid waste produced has a crude protein content of around 21.29%. Because the protein content found in high solid waste from tofu, it is very possible for the solid waste to be utilized. This research was conducted on SMEs who were in East Aceh District. The purpose of this study is to obtain alternative solid waste treatment in tofu SMEs. The method used in this study is the analytical hierarchy process (AHP). AHP is a process for ranking each alternative decision based on how well the alternative meets the decision-making criteria. The steps of this research are observation and study of literature, identification of problem, determining or research objectives, data collection, data processing, and discussion.The criteria that are taken into consideration by researchers for solid waste management are economical, technological and environmental aspects.From these aspects, we have examined the alternative waste management by the SME, whether it is used as material food, animal feed or not used (disposed). By using the AHP method, we will know the alternative weight of solid waste management by business actors. The results of this study obtained aspects of the criteria for waste management which are the top priority are economical aspects and the alternative choice of processing solid waste is material food with an alternative weight value of 63,11 percent.
