Tofu industry X is one of 24 tofu industries in Bandungan, producing wastewater with a high organic matter content of 600 liters per day. The industry does not have a waste treatment plant and is directly discharged into water bodies, leading to environmental pollution. The phytoremediation method uses water hyacinth plants to be inexpensive and efficient. This study aims to see the effectiveness of water hyacinth plants in reducing COD levels in tofu wastewater. The method used quasi-experimental with a pretest-posttest control group design.
