The result of research accomplished showed that the stem of palm oil plant is able to made as pulp. Choice the caustic process cooking was based on easy to do an a low costoperation. The process has two step activities. The stem of palm oil plant as raw material have been degraded by micro organism. The first step the cooking was done at the open atmosfer with concentration of the cooking solution 1.50 % NaOH and 2 hours duration with yield product of 78 %. The second step of the cooking was made at the boiler and 3atsms operation pressure approximate temperature 1400 C). The concentration of cooking solution 5 % NaOH and 4 hours cooking duration with yield product of 72.5%. Total yield of pulp from cooking stem of palm oil plant approximate 57,5%. The sample of paper mixture that have percentage at dry weight composition 40% paper of kraft waste sack of cement and 60% stem of palm oil plant to give tensile index maximal 0,0153 kN m/gr and tearing index 21.6949 mN m2/gr compare with minimum value tensile index and tearing index from SNI. 14-1308 1998.
