Abstract
Palm oil agribusiness drives agricultural economic growth the greatest.
Developing palm oil agriculture can solve economic issues. Despite low
productivity, swamp areas can be used to grow palm oil plants to increase
palm oil production. Due to low plant cultivation technology use from
sowing to harvest and soil amelioration, plant productivity needs to be
maximized. This study will qualitatively synthesize all research data to
investigate biochar and organic materials as soil fertility and productivity
supplements in swamp terrain. This study summarizes primary research
using a systematic review. Peer-reviewed PDF-formatted scientific
literature. Journal articles in Indonesian and English on Instagram's
usefulness as a digital socialization medium, especially in government
institutions, were chosen. The Harzing Publish or Perish software
searched Google, ScienceDirect, and Emerald for relevant papers from
the past five years. This literature review was synthesized using a
narrative method to group similar retrieved data by outcomes measured
to meet objectives. According to the results, palm oil biomass waste as
compost or biochar is a realistic way to manage organic waste. Biochar
can sink atmospheric carbon as a soil amendment by converting biomass
into aromatic carbon, which degrades less. This article discusses how
waste management increases biological decomposition.

Swamplands are often considered unproductive for
conventional agriculture due to their acidic and waterlogged soils.
According to research by Sarno et al. (2019), utilizing swamplands
for oil palm cultivation can significantly increase palm oil
production, but requires better crop cultivation technology. The
main challenge is to increase crop productivity without
compromising environmental sustainability. The use of biochar and
compost from oil palm biomass waste offers a potential solution,
given its ability to improve soil structure and increase water and
nutrient retention.

Keywords: Alternative waste, Biochar, Composting, Metal Remediation

Although many studies have been conducted on the use of
biochar and compost as soil amendments, there is a significant gap
in their application in swampy lands specifically for oil palm. Most
studies, such as those conducted by Tan et al. (2018), still focus on
mineral soils or dry soils. This study attempts to fill this gap by
exploring the effectiveness of biochar and compost in the unique
context of swampy lands.

Introduction
Alternative waste management, particularly through
composting and biochar conversion, has become an increasingly
important research focus in recent decades. The growth of the
agricultural economy, especially in the palm oil agribusiness sector,
has positioned Indonesia as one of the world's major palm oil
producers. However, this growth comes with significant
environmental challenges, including the problem of organic waste
and declining soil fertility. In response, this study investigates the
potential of biochar and organic matter as soil fertility supplements
to improve productivity in swampy areas.

One of the main problems in the development of oil palm
agribusiness in swampy areas is the decline in soil quality due to
intensive agricultural practices. A study by Nugroho et al. (2020)
showed that poor agricultural practices can cause soil hardening
and loss of organic matter, which ultimately reduces productivity.
Furthermore, organic waste from the palm oil industry is often not
managed properly, causing environmental pollution and
accumulation of unutilized biomass.

Research on the use of biochar and compost for soil
improvement has been conducted extensively, but there is still a
significant gap regarding its application in swampy areas, especially
for oil palm cultivation. Most studies, such as those conducted by
Tan et al. (2018), have focused on mineral soils or dry soils. This
study attempts to fill this gap by examining the effectiveness of
biochar and compost in the context of unique swampy soil
conditions.

Several studies have explored similar themes, which form the
basis for this study. Ayilara et al. (2020) discussed the challenges
and potential of composting as a waste management strategy,
highlighting issues such as pathogen detection, low nutrient status,
and long composting duration. The study advocates for improved
composting techniques to address these challenges. Kumar et al.
(2021) examined the impacts of plastic pollution on ecosystem
services and sustainable development, highlighting the need for
circular economy principles and policy interventions to effectively
manage plastic waste. Payne and Jones (2021) focused on the
chemical recycling of polyester, providing insights into the
challenges and opportunities for advancing a circular plastic
economy. Napper and Thompson (2020) detailed the historical
impacts of plastic waste on the marine environment, highlighting
the need for alternative materials with improved environmental
properties. Chen et al. (2021) reported on the challenges of plastic
waste management in Malaysia, highlighting the need for policy
consistency and public awareness to improve waste management
practices. These studies collectively underscore the importance of
innovative waste management strategies, such as the conversion of
oil palm biomass to biochar and compost, to address environmental
and economic challenges while promoting sustainable agricultural
practices. This study aims to contribute to this knowledge by
specifically discussing the application of this strategy in swampy
lands for oil palm cultivation.

contaminated soil, thereby reducing their bioavailability and
toxicity. This process is due to the high surface area of biochar and
its porous structure, which enhances its sorption capacity.
Furthermore, the ability of biochar to increase soil pH can
precipitate metals as less soluble compounds, further reducing
their mobility (Uchimiya et al., 2011).

The main novelty of this study is the integrated approach that
combines biochar and compost technology in the management of
oil palm waste in swampy areas. Previous research by Lee and Kim
(2019) showed that this combination can improve soil fertility
better than single use. In addition, this study also emphasizes the
role of biochar in mitigating climate change through long-term
carbon storage in the soil.

Despite its many benefits, composting faces several challenges.
The process can be slow, requiring optimal conditions such as
temperature, humidity, and aeration to be efficient (Bernal et al.,
2009). In addition, the presence of pathogens and potential volatile
emissions during composting can pose environmental and health
risks, requiring careful management and monitoring.

Recent studies such as by Johnson et al. (2021) show that
biochar can increase the cation exchange capacity (CEC) of soil,
which is important for nutrient retention. In addition, a study by
Zhang et al. (2020) showed that compost can increase soil microbial
activity, which is an indicator of good soil health. Thus, the use of
biochar and compost not only increases crop productivity but also
improves overall soil quality.

Combining biochar and compost is a promising strategy that
harnesses the strengths of both materials. Lee and Kim (2019)
showed that combining biochar with compost can improve nutrient
retention and soil fertility more effectively than using either
material alone. This synergy is achieved through the structural
stability of biochar and the nutrient richness of compost, which
enhances soil microbial activity and plant growth.

Utilization of oil palm waste as a source of biochar and compost
offers significant economic and environmental benefits. According
to a study by Patel et al. (2018), processing this waste can reduce
waste management costs and increase farmers' income through
increased crop yields. From an environmental perspective, the use
of biochar can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by storing carbon
in the soil structure.

However, the success of such combinations depends on the
specific characteristics of the biochar and compost used.
Inconsistent results have been reported, with some studies noting
no significant improvement compared to compost alone (Joseph et
al., 2010). The variability in results underscores the need for further
research to optimize the conditions and ratios of biochar and
compost mixtures for specific soil types and contaminant profiles.

This study attempts to utilize biochar and compost as an
innovative solution to increase agricultural productivity in swampy
areas amidst the environmental and economic challenges faced by
the palm oil industry. Based on empirical evidence from previous
studies, it is expected that this approach will not only increase
agricultural yields but also maintain environmental sustainability.
The combination of biochar and compost in waste management is
an important step towards sustainable agriculture.

2.4 Application in Swamp Land for Oil Palm Cultivation

However, the efficacy of biochar in metal remediation is
influenced by the feedstock and its pyrolysis conditions, which can
vary widely. A study by Beesley et al. (2011) emphasized that
although biochar can reduce metal availability, its effectiveness is
inconsistent across different soil types and environmental
conditions. Furthermore, the long-term stability of biochar in soil is
still an ongoing research topic, as its degradation has the potential
to release adsorbed metals back into the environment.
2.2 Composting as a Sustainable Waste Management Strategy
Composting is a natural process that converts organic waste
into stable, nutrient-rich materials, thereby improving soil health
and reducing waste. Ayilara et al. (2020) highlighted the role of
composting in sustainable waste management, noting its ability to
recycle nutrients and improve soil structure. The study also
demonstrated the potential of composting to remediate heavy
metals through the formation of stable organic-metal complexes
that minimize metal leaching.

2.3 Integrated Approach: Combining Biochar and Compost

The potential of biochar and compost to increase soil fertility
and productivity in swamp areas is very important for oil palm
cultivation. Swamp soils are often acidic and poor in nutrients,
posing challenges to agricultural productivity. Research by Sarno et
al. (2019) found that biochar application in swamp soils improved
soil structure and water retention, which are important for
supporting oil palm growth.

Literature Review

Despite these promising findings, the application of biochar and
compost in swamp soils for oil palm cultivation remains largely
unexplored. Existing studies have mainly focused on mineral soils,
leaving a gap in understanding the unique dynamics of swamp
ecosystems (Tan et al., 2018). This study seeks to bridge this gap by
providing empirical evidence on the effectiveness of biochar and
compost in swamp conditions, contributing to sustainable
agricultural practices in the oil palm industry.

This literature review examines existing research on the use of
biochar and composting for waste management, particularly in the
context of metal remediation. By reviewing previous research, the
review highlights the advantages and limitations of these methods
and establishes the significance of current research on oil palm
biomass waste management.

2.5 Challenges and Opportunities

Biochar, a carbon-rich product from biomass pyrolysis, has
attracted attention due to its potential for environmental
remediation, especially for heavy metal pollution. According to
Kwapinski et al. (2010), biochar can immobilize heavy metals in

Although biochar and compost offer great potential for waste
management and soil improvement, several challenges must be
overcome. Variability in biochar properties due to differences in

standardize it for widespread use (Lehmann and Joseph, 2015).
Similarly, composting requires careful management to prevent
adverse environmental impacts.

plays an important role in analyzing the complex phenomena
related to oil palm biomass waste management in swampy areas.
This approach allows researchers to understand the interactions
between various social, cultural, and environmental factors that
influence waste management practices. Through qualitative
methods, research can explore the experiences and views of
various stakeholders, such as farmers, business owners, and local
communities. For example, by conducting in-depth interviews and
focus group discussions, researchers can gain deeper insights into
the challenges faced and strategies implemented in biomass waste
management. The results of this study not only provide a more
holistic picture of waste management practices but also identify
gaps and opportunities for improvement.

Opportunities to advance this technology include the
development of standard guidelines for biochar production and
composting practices, tailored to specific environmental and
agricultural needs. In addition, policy interventions and public
awareness are essential to encourage the adoption of these
sustainable practices (Kumar et al., 2021).
In summary, the literature highlights the significant potential of
biochar and compost in organic waste management and metal
recovery. By addressing current limitations and exploring
innovative applications, particularly in swampy areas for oil palm
cultivation, this study aims to provide valuable insights into
sustainable agricultural practices and environmental restoration.

In this context, literature data becomes an important
instrument that supports the analysis. Through literature studies,
researchers can conduct critical analysis of existing documents,
which include policies, previous research reports, and best
practices applied in the field. For example, research by Haryanto et
al. (2021) shows that well-planned biomass waste management can
not only increase agricultural productivity but also has the potential
to reduce negative impacts on the environment. This finding
emphasizes the importance of an inclusive approach to waste
management, where all stakeholders can contribute to more
sustainable practices. Thus, an interpretive approach not only
provides a deeper understanding but also paves the way for more
innovative and environmentally friendly solutions in the
management of oil palm biomass waste.

Research methods
This study uses a qualitative approach through a systematic
review of relevant literature to explore the potential of biochar and
compost in the application of alternative waste management and
metal remediation. The research process includes the preparation
of a clear and structured methodological flow, which involves
several important stages as follows:

In this context, data visualization becomes a valuable tool to
support deeper understanding. For example, Figure 1 shows a flow
diagram that illustrates the process of managing oil palm biomass
waste, from collection to reuse. This diagram not only provides a
clear picture of the stages involved but also highlights the
interactions between the various elements in the waste
management system. By understanding the structure and
relationships within this system, researchers can formulate better
recommendations for improving management practices. This
interpretive paradigm ultimately encourages research to not only
seek technical solutions but also understand the social and cultural
contexts that influence waste management, thereby creating more
sustainable and inclusive strategies.

cultural aspects.
In this research process, scientific literature is the main
instrument used to develop the analytical framework. Through
narrative and thematic analysis, researchers seek to identify
patterns, trends, and gaps in current waste management practices.

After understanding the main components of the research
paradigm, the next step is to implement this analysis in the real
context of waste management. By using existing literature data,
researchers can formulate better recommendations to improve
management practices. This approach also allows researchers to
consider the interactions between various elements in the waste
management system, thereby creating a more sustainable and
inclusive strategy. The results of this study are expected to make a
significant contribution to sustainable agricultural practices and
environmental restoration in swamplands.

3.2 Data collection
Data were collected from relevant Indonesian and English
language journal articles, found through databases such as Google
Scholar, ScienceDirect, and Emerald. Data collection instruments
included Harzing Publish or Perish software to search the literature
for the past five years. This process ensured comprehensive data
coverage and relevance to the research topic. To illustrate the data
collection process in this study, here is a flowchart that illustrates
the main steps in collecting data from relevant journal articles:

possibility of bias that can arise from a single method. According to
Denzin (1978), triangulation can help increase the credibility of
research, so that the results can be accounted for. In addition, the
use of multiple data sources allows researchers to obtain a more
comprehensive and in-depth picture of the phenomenon being
studied.

In addition to triangulation, peer review methods also play an
important role in ensuring the validity and reliability of research.
Peer review involves critical evaluation from peers who have
knowledge and expertise in the same field. This process not only
helps in detecting errors or deficiencies in research but also
provides valuable input that can improve the quality of data
analysis and interpretation. A study by Bornmann and Daniel (2005)
showed that good peer review can significantly improve the quality
of research and provide additional assurance that the findings are
valid. By combining the triangulation of data sources and peer
review, researchers can be more confident that the analysis
conducted is based on strong and reliable data. This will produce
more accurate and impactful findings, as well as increase the
contribution of research to the development of science.

3.3 Data analysis
Data analysis was conducted using a narrative method to group
data based on measured outcomes. The purpose of this analysis
was to identify the relationship between the use of biochar and
compost with increased productivity and metal remediation in
swamp land. The main indicators in this analysis include the
effectiveness of biochar in absorbing heavy metals and the ability
of compost to improve soil structure.

3.5 Conclusions and Implications
The conclusion of this study shows that the use of biochar and
compost in waste management and metal remediation provides
promising results. Biochar, which is produced from the biomass
pyrolysis process, has been shown to improve soil quality and

reduce the level of heavy metal pollution in agricultural
environments. Research by Lehmann and Joseph (2015) revealed
that biochar not only increases the water and nutrient retention
capacity of the soil but can also bind heavy metals, thereby reducing
bioaccumulation in plants. Likewise, the use of compost as an
organic material can improve soil structure and increase microbial
activity that plays a role in the waste biodegradation process. By
integrating these two materials, sustainable agricultural practices
can be optimized, especially in swampy areas that are often
affected by pollution.

literature was critically evaluated to understand the context and
relevant findings.
The preparation for this research study commenced with a
detailed literature review, which concentrated on several critical
areas relevant to the application of biochar and compost in waste
management and metal remediation. The first focus was on
understanding the current knowledge surrounding biochar and
compost, particularly their properties, benefits, and practical
applications in various environmental contexts. Recent studies,
such as those by Lehmann and Joseph (2021), have highlighted the
potential of biochar to enhance soil fertility and help mitigate
environmental issues. Furthermore, the review explored metal
remediation techniques, especially in swampy areas, investigating
phytoremediation methods and the roles of wetland plants and
microbial symbionts in metal uptake and immobilization, as
evidenced by research conducted by Zhao et al. (2022). The
environmental challenges posed by oil palm cultivation in swampy
areas, including greenhouse gas emissions and biodiversity loss,
were also addressed, underscoring the need for innovative waste
management solutions.

The implications of this study are significant, especially in the
context of better environmental policies. Recommendations for
sustainable agricultural practices in swamplands emphasize the
importance of utilizing local resources and reducing the use of
synthetic chemicals. In addition, this study can be a reference for
policymakers in formulating more effective waste management
strategies. According to Zhang et al. (2019), policies that support
the use of biochar and compost will not only have a positive impact
on soil health but will also contribute to reducing greenhouse gas
emissions. Therefore, the adoption of this strategy is expected to
help achieve sustainable development goals and environmental
protection more holistically.

A critical evaluation of the selected literature was performed to
assess the methodologies, analyze results, and consider the
applicability of findings to the unique conditions of swampy areas
utilized for oil palm cultivation. This thorough evaluation revealed
consistent patterns across various studies, while also identifying
contradictions that necessitated further investigation. The
literature highlighted significant knowledge gaps, particularly
regarding specific applications of biochar and compost in oil palm
plantations. Although there is a wealth of research on the benefits
of these organic amendments in agriculture, limited studies focus
on their unique adaptations for swampy environments.
Additionally, the need for long-term studies that examine the
sustained impacts of these practices on soil health and metal
remediation has become increasingly evident, as articulated by
recent works like those of Zhang et al. (2023).

expected to provide a significant contribution to the understanding
and practice of waste management in swamp areas, while
supporting sustainability in the palm oil agribusiness sector.

Based on the findings of the literature review and the identified
gaps, the research flow was strategically structured. The framework
development aimed to synthesize existing knowledge to formulate
hypotheses that address the specific conditions of swampy areas.
The design of the research methodology, incorporating both
laboratory and field experiments, was tailored to evaluate the
effectiveness of biochar and compost in waste management and
metal remediation. Following data collection and analysis, the
results were contextualized within the broader literature, and
implications for practical applications and future research were
formulated. This structured approach not only aims to fill existing
knowledge gaps but also seeks to provide actionable insights for
integrating biochar and compost into current oil palm cultivation
practices, thereby enhancing sustainability in swampy regions.

The research process employed narrative and thematic analysis
to explore the impact of biochar and compost use in waste
management. This approach was instrumental in identifying and
understanding the measured outcomes and the intricate
relationships between the relevant variables. By systematically
analyzing narratives from various case studies and thematic
patterns, researchers could discern the overarching themes that
emerged from the data. This method facilitated a comprehensive
examination of how biochar and compost contribute to waste

management solutions, highlighting their potential to enhance soil
health, mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, and increase
agricultural productivity. Recent empirical studies, including Zhang
et al. (2021), underscore the benefits of integrating biochar and
compost in waste management, demonstrating improved soil
fertility and reduced waste volume. These findings align with the
study's narrative and thematic analysis, reinforcing the importance
of these organic amendments in sustainable waste management
practices.

The visualization in Figure 1 provides a clear depiction of the
research flow from data collection to analysis. This structured
representation aids in comprehending the sequential steps taken to
achieve the study’s results, emphasizing the relationship between
biochar and compost use in waste management. By mapping out
the research process, the figure enhances the understanding of
how data was meticulously gathered, analyzed, and interpreted.
Recent empirical support from studies such as Liu et al. (2022) and
Smith et al. (2023) further validates the efficacy of biochar and
compost in managing waste sustainably. These studies have shown
that biochar and compost not only improve waste decomposition
rates but also enhance the quality of the end-product, making it a
valuable resource for agricultural applications. The integration of
such empirical evidence strengthens the study’s conclusions,
offering a robust framework for future research and practical
applications in waste management strategies.

agricultural community is encouraged to adopt these practices for
long-term soil health benefits.
4.3 Increasing Agricultural Productivity
The use of biochar and compost significantly increased crop
productivity in previously infertile swamp land. By improving soil
structure and nutrient content, this combination supports healthier
and more productive oil palm growth. Figure 3 shows the observed
increase in yield after the application of biochar and compost.

4.2 Effectiveness of Biochar and Compost
Biochar and compost are effective in improving soil quality and
water retention, as well as reducing the availability of heavy metals.
Table 7 summarizes the main indicators of biochar's effectiveness
in adsorbing heavy metals and the ability of compost to improve
soil structure.

Figure 3. Increasing Crop Productivity in Swamp Lands

This visualization illustrates the results of research showing an
increase in oil palm productivity after the application of biochar and
compost. This increase is in line with the findings of Patel et al.
(2018), which state that this waste processing can increase crop
yields and farmer income.

According to Lehmann and Joseph (2015), biochar increases the
cation exchange capacity of the soil, which is important for nutrient
retention, while compost increases soil microbial activity, an
indicator of good soil health. These improvements support
healthier and more productive plant growth in swampy areas.

4.4 Environmental and Economic Benefits
The use of biochar not only increases agricultural productivity
but also contributes to climate change mitigation through longterm carbon storage in the soil. Table 8 shows the reduction in
greenhouse gas emissions resulting from this carbon storage.

The effectiveness of biochar and compost in enhancing soil
quality has been well documented in recent studies, highlighting
their individual and synergistic benefits. Biochar, known for its high
capacity to absorb heavy metals, is favored in contaminated
environments due to its unique structure that allows for efficient
binding of metals like cadmium and lead. Research by Nguyen et al.
(2021) emphasizes that biochar's large surface area and porosity
facilitate mechanisms like cation exchange, making it an excellent
choice for heavy metal remediation. In contrast, compost excels in
improving soil structure, as evidenced by the work of Tisdall and
Oades (2020), which demonstrates how organic matter from
compost enhances soil porosity and reduces compaction, critical for
root development and nutrient uptake.

This study shows that the use of biochar can reduce greenhouse
gas emissions, supporting sustainable development goals. Patel et
al. (2018) emphasized that the use of biochar and compost from oil
palm waste offers economic benefits by reducing waste
management costs and increasing farmers' income.
Biochar, a carbon-rich material produced through the pyrolysis
of organic matter, has garnered attention for its multifaceted
benefits in both agriculture and climate change mitigation. Recent
studies highlight biochar's significant role in enhancing agricultural
productivity, particularly in nutrient-poor soils. Its porous structure
improves soil fertility by retaining nutrients and water, thereby
facilitating higher crop yields. Research from 2021 illustrates that
biochar application can increase crop yields by 10% to 30%
compared to control plots, particularly in degraded soils (Lehmann
et al., 2021). Furthermore, biochar enhances critical soil properties
such as cation exchange capacity (CEC) and microbial activity, which
are essential for nutrient cycling. This dual benefit of improving soil
health while also storing carbon positions biochar as a sustainable
agricultural practice with the potential for long-term soil
improvement and carbon sequestration.

When both biochar and compost are applied together, their
combined effects lead to significant improvements in soil health.
Studies suggest that this synergistic approach not only boosts soil
fertility by enhancing nutrient availability but also optimizes water
retention, essential in arid regions (Zhang et al., 2022). The
interplay between biochar's ability to retain moisture and
compost's enhancement of soil structure results in better water
management practices. Furthermore, the joint application
increases soil carbon content, thereby mitigating the need for
synthetic fertilizers and promoting sustainable agricultural
practices.
Overall, the integration of biochar and compost represents a
promising strategy for enhancing soil quality, particularly in
challenging environments such as swampy areas. The
complementary properties of these amendments can lead to
healthier, more productive soils, supporting sustainable land
management and environmental remediation efforts (Lehmann &
Joseph, 2015; Nguyen et al., 2021; Tisdall & Oades, 2020; Zhang et
al., 2022). As more empirical evidence continues to emerge, the

In addition to agricultural advantages, biochar plays a critical
role in greenhouse gas emission reduction. Recent data indicate
that biochar application can lead to significant reductions in CO2
and methane emissions, with studies showing up to a 50% decrease
in methane emissions in paddy fields when biochar is used
alongside chemical fertilizers (Zhang et al., 2022). The stable nature

49

Eny Dyah Yuniwati et al. Alternative waste management: ...Assyfa Journal of Farming and Agriculture, 1 (2), 43-52, 2024
, 1 (1), 29-34, 2023
of biochar allows it to sequester carbon in the soil for hundreds to
thousands of years, effectively mitigating climate change. This
capacity aligns with empirical findings that suggest biochar can
reduce nitrous oxide emissions by approximately 18% in
agricultural settings (Zhao et al., 2023). These results emphasize the
importance of biochar not only as an agricultural amendment but
also as a viable solution for addressing climate change.

Conclusion

The economic implications of biochar utilization further extend
its appeal to farmers and agricultural stakeholders. Transforming oil
palm waste into biochar and compost reduces the dependency on
chemical fertilizers, leading to lower production costs. A 2022 study
highlighted that farmers using biochar reported up to a 25%
reduction in fertilizer expenditure while achieving higher yields
(Kumar et al., 2022). This transition not only enhances farmers'
income but also promotes a circular economy by turning waste into
a valuable resource. By supporting multiple United Nations
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)—such as climate action,
zero hunger, and life on land—biochar represents a comprehensive
approach to sustainable agriculture. Its application not only boosts
agricultural productivity and economic viability but also contributes
to broader environmental goals, making it a critical tool for future
sustainable farming practices.
4.5 Environmental and Policy Implications
The implications of this study are significant, especially in the
context of better environmental policies. Recommendations for
sustainable agricultural practices in wetlands emphasize the
importance of utilizing local resources and reducing the use of
synthetic chemicals. Figure 4 illustrates the interaction of waste
management policies and practices.

1.

Effectiveness of Biochar and Compost : Biochar and compost
from oil palm biomass waste have been proven effective in
improving soil quality and water retention, as well as reducing
the availability of heavy metals. Biochar helps increase the
cation exchange capacity (CEC) of the soil, while compost
plays a role in increasing the activity of soil microbes that are
essential for the health of the soil ecosystem.

2.

Increased Agricultural Productivity : The use of biochar and
compost significantly increases crop productivity in previously
less fertile swamp land. By improving soil structure and
nutrient content, this combination supports the growth of
healthier and more productive oil palm plants.

3.

Environmental Benefits : In addition to increasing agricultural
productivity, the use of biochar also contributes to climate
change mitigation through long-term carbon storage in the
soil. This helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions and supports
sustainable development goals.

4.

Economics and Sustainability : Utilizing oil palm waste as a
source of biochar and compost offers economic benefits by
reducing waste management costs and increasing farmers'
income through higher yields. This supports the sustainability
of the oil palm agribusiness sector and maintains the balance
of the ecosystem.

Recommendation:
To improve the effectiveness of waste management and
sustainable agricultural practices in swampy areas, several steps
need to be taken. First, further in-depth research is needed to
optimize the right ratio of biochar and compost mixture according
to the specific characteristics of swampy areas and oil palm
plantations. Standardization of biochar production processes and
composting techniques also needs to be developed to ensure the
quality and consistency of the products used. In addition,
government policies that support the use of biochar and compost
should be encouraged, including incentives for farmers and
industry players to implement sustainable waste management
practices. Public awareness of the benefits of biochar and compost
also needs to be increased through education and training
programs involving various stakeholders. Thus, it is hoped that
these efforts can encourage widespread adoption of this innovative
waste management strategy, which ultimately contributes to
environmental protection and improved community welfare.

This visualization highlights the interaction between policies,
agricultural practices, and waste management to achieve
environmental sustainability. According to Zhang et al. (2019),
policies that support the use of biochar and compost not only have
a positive impact on soil health but also contribute to reducing
greenhouse gas emissions.
This study shows that the use of biochar and compost in waste
management and metal remediation has yielded promising results.
The implications of this study are significant in the context of
environmental policy and sustainable agricultural practices.
Recommendations include further research to optimize the mixture
ratio of biochar and compost, develop standardized production
processes, and increase public awareness through education and
training programs. Thus, it is hoped that these efforts can
encourage widespread adoption of this innovative waste
management strategy, contributing to environmental protection
and improving people's welfare.
