A Case Study of MSMEs’ Involvement in Palm Oil Waste Management
Abstract
Abstract - The transition of palm oil Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) toward green practices plays a vital role in achieving Indonesia’s carbon emission reduction targets. This paper investigates the transformation process of palm oil MSMEs from traditional, carbon-intensive operations to environmentally friendly models. Employing a qualitative approach, the study identifies drivers, barriers, and strategic actions undertaken by MSMEs in the palm oil sector. Findings reveal that challenges such as limited access to green technology, inadequate support systems, and low sustainability awareness persist. However, opportunities arise through institutional frameworks, innovation in waste utilization, and increasing demand for sustainably produced palm oil products. This study offers a framework to support green transitions among palm oil MSMEs, contributing to climate and economic goals.
