The surrounding community is used to burning pines cones with plastic with a total waste weight of 24.5 kg/day, which is dangerous for the health of visiting tourists, could cause nausea, dizziness, death, and can cause a 50% decrease in the number of tourists from 48,000 thousand visitors/day. year. Therefore, training on appropriate technology for processing pine fruit waste needs to be carried out. This training was using a qualitative approach the mobile training unit (MTU) design. Its basics is training of trainers (TOT) through the application of chemical science in making products from pine fruits waste with the aim of making someone a trainer both technically and non-technically. The results showed that there was an addition in terms of community knowledging, skilling, and fostering an entrepreneurial spirit from the results of utilizing pine fruit waste on individual income. Based on qualitative testing, if pine fruit waste is treated properly it will generate a profit of Rp. 13,507,500 / week.
