The tofu industry in Cipondoh Subdistrict, Tangerang City, is growing rapidly, but the liquid waste produced is a serious environmental issue. This study aims to analyze the treatment of wastewater from the tofu home industry, focusing on the levels of BOD, COD, TSS, and pH of the waste, as well as the level of knowledge and attitude of employees regarding waste management. The method used was descriptive quantitative, with wastewater sampling in the morning using a composite sampling technique from two locations, namely raw water and wastewater discharge. Analysis was conducted at the Tangerang Regional Health Laboratory for the specified parameters. The results showed that many tofu industries have not implemented waste treatment properly, causing environmental pollution. In addition, the assessment of employees' knowledge level ranged from 'less' to 'sufficient', with attitudes needing to be improved for more effective waste management. The findings are expected to be a reference for the improvement of liquid waste management in the tofu industry that is more environmentally friendly.
