Tofu is a food that every level of society liked because of its low price and many nutrient contents. Tofu making uses a lot of water for sorting, immersion, boiling, and filtering to produce enough liquid tofu waste. The problem that most rises related to the tofu industry is the problem of waste processing. If the tofu waste is disposed of directly into the river, it will affect the life of biota and pollute the environment. Therefore facility is needed for wastewater treatment that can be used continuously with a wetland construction system. The A filter composition consists of sand, charcoal, and zeolite. The B composition consists of soil, palm fiber, sand, charcoal, and zeolite with cattail plants (Thypa latifolia). C composition consists of soil, palm fiber, sand, charcoal, and zeolite with cattail plant (Thypa latifolia) and Phragmites australis. The three compositions are then analyzed in filtering the tofu industrial wastewater. The best result of tofu liquid waste processing is using the C wetland composition construction; pH with a value of 6.7 BOD with a value of 146mg/L, COD 338mg/L, TSS 123mg/L.
