One of them is the food industry that produces raw materials of products and waste from the production process in the form of hazardous and toxic materials waste. This research uses descriptive approach that aims to evaluate industrial activities that produce toxic materials and hazardous waste. The management and utilization of toxic and hazardous waste materials require the consent of the ministry of environment based on Regulation of Government number 101 of 2014. The method of utilization of toxic and hazardous waste materials that have been applied in other industries can be applied in the food industry. This utilization method is required for the management and utilization of toxic and hazardous waste materials in the food industry because the waste is not utilized or recycled, only stored in a temporary storage warehouse and later sent to the container.
