One of the causes of environmental and climate problems is human-generated waste such as Galam ( Melaleuca cajuputi ) leaf waste. Galam leaf waste with Essential oil ingredients can be a solution to the problem. The research objective was to utilize Galam Leaf waste in the form of essential ingredients and to determine the impact of climate change from the continuous utilization of Galam Plants The formula used was 10 liters of water, 4, 5, and 6 kg of Galam leaf biomass. Distillation activities carried out for 3 hours/formula. Repetition of each formula is done 5 times with the distillation technique. The essential oil results obtained from the formula of 4 kg of Galam leaf biomass are 4 ml, 6.2 ml, 12 ml, 7.5 ml, and 14 ml. Formula 2 is 11.5 ml, 16 ml, 14.5 ml, 13.5 ml and 15.5 ml. Formula 3 is 24.5 ml, 28 ml, 27 ml, 20.5 ml and 16 ml. Galam leaf waste processing activities can be a solution to reduce the impact of environmental and climate pollution.
