The purpose of this study was to analyze how the influence of briquette pressure on the physical properties of briquettes made from palm oil shell waste and LDPE plastic which includes the density value, elastic modulus and ultimate strength of the briquettes themselves. The method applied in this research is by varying the briquetting pressure, namely 80 N/m2, 70 N/m2, 60 N/m2, 50 N/m2, 40 N/m2 and 30 N/m2. The results obtained are the highest density value of briquettes, namely 808.71 kg/m3 produced from a pressure of 50 N/m2 and the lowest briquettes density value of 763.87 kg/m3 produced from a pressure of 80 N/m2, the highest briquette modulus of elasticity is 40 MPa produced from a pressure of 70 N/m2 and a pressure of 40 N/m2, then the lowest briquette modulus of elasticity is 20 MPa resulting from a pressure of 60 N/m2 and the highest ultimate strength value of briquettes is 3.402 MPa resulting from a pressure of 40 N/m2 and the ultimate strength value the lowest briquette is 2.813 MPa produced from a pressure of 80 N/m2.
