Empty fruit bunches (EFB) are the main solid waste product of the palm oil industry and have great potential to be processed into high-value organic fertilizer. However, the natural decomposition process is very slow. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of several types of decomposers (EM-4, Eco-enzyme, M-21, and MSG-3) in accelerating the TKKS composting process and to identify the socio-economic conditions and perceptions of the Lubuk Ogung Village community regarding community-based waste management. The method used was a mixed-methods design, with a completely randomized design (CRD) and three replicates for technical analysis and in-depth interviews for social aspects. The parameters observed included the C/N ratio, organic C, nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. The results showed that Eco-enzyme and M-21 were the most effective decomposers, producing final C/N ratios of 16.44 and 17.25, respectively, which meet the SNI 7763:2024 standard. Socially, the community showed a positive perception of TKKS composting, though they still faced obstacles in technical knowledge, market access, and program sustainability. These findings indicate that the application of decomposer technology, particularly Eco-enzyme, has the potential to strengthen waste management and promote community empowerment through circular economy practices at the village level.
