The policy of sustainable production has encouraged small batik businesses to shift to natural dyes as these are considered eco-friendly. However, the motivation behind juragan batiks' embracing natural dyes still has some question marks attached. This qualitative study explains the motivation of the juragan batiks in using natural colourants in their production of batik warna alam and explores the significance of batik warna alam to juragan batik. We found the production of batik warna alam tended to be triggered by economic reasons not environmental consciousness. This related to the meaning of batik warna alam to maintaining the economic survival of the juragans. Juragans are convinced that batik warna alam is eco-friendly according to the indicators to which they subscribe: (1) the materials are found in their immediate surroundings; (2) the process causes no pollution or environmental destruction; and (3) the production does not pose a health threat to people, including workers. This study provides the insight that an eco-friendly-labelled production might not necessarily be motivated by a high level of environmental consciousness.

The growth of batik production rises environmental problems, especially after the application of synthetic dye. Water pollution caused by batik industries has been reported to occur in some batik centers. Besides water pollution, wastewater of the synthetic dye also contaminates paddy fields. A solution for these environmental problems is the application of clean production in the batik industry. One of the batik communities in Klaten has already applied natural dye. The community considered that natural dyed batik is an eco-friendly (clean) practice. This paper discusses the materials input on natural dyed batik practice from the perspective of clean production. The method used in this paper is a case study in order to describe the venture for clean batik production applied by Batik Putri Kawung. While the data are analyzed from the perspective of clean production.
ECO-FRIENDLY OF NATURAL COLOR TECHNIQUE OF TRADITIONAL JAVANESE BATIK
Batik is a cloth that traditionally made by using a manual wax-resist dyeing technique. It has notable meanings to the conceptualization of the universe and it represent the identity of the people who wear it. Each material, motif and the color used has different meaning. At present, many batik industry prefer to use synthetic color and it's polluting the environment. The intention of this research is to investigate the point of view of Javanese people to natural color of batik. This research using explorative method to explore the natural color technique and its effect to environment. The Javanese elder use natural material for coloring the cloth because natural color make it looks more elegant and durable. Moreover, natural color material is easy to get and it's an organic material so this is not harm the environment. In their point of view, they believe that they are must living in harmony with the nature, if they take care of the nature, the nature will taking care of them. At present, the government encourage micro and small batik enterprises to develop the natural color technique to make traditional Javanese Batik.
A Comparison between the Environmental Impact of Each Batik Production Process
Proceedings of the Proceedings of the 13th International Interdisciplinary Studies Seminar, IISS 2019, 30-31 October 2019, Malang, Indonesia, 2020
Batik is a native Indonesian cultural heritage. The batik industry is spread in several cities such as Surakarta, Yogyakarta, Pekalongan, Cirebon, Madura and other cities. The development of the batik industry not only increased people incomes but also on various environmental impact. The batik production process consists of several stages, each stage using different chemicals, so the impact is also different. This study, therefore, aims to compare the environmental impacts caused by each stage in the batik production process, in an that it can be seen where the process with the highest environmental impact can be proposed for further improvement. The parameters analyzed include Human Health, Ecosystem Quality and Resources. The result is a coloring that has the greatest environmental impact when compared to other processes. This was due to the use of chemicals for the coloring process, encompassing remasol, water glass, soda ash mixed with water. The many chemicals used cause the greatest environmental impact compared to other processes. Therefore, reducing and reusing of chemicals dyes for the subsequent coloring processes or the adoption of natural dyes from plants origin are capable of reducing the environmental impacts.
Redefining Cirebon batik into an environmentally friendly icon of West Java
This study aims to examine the possibility of developing Mega Mendung batik as an Eco-product in the Trusmi Batik Center Area, Cirebon, West Java, Indonesia. The benefit of this research is to increase the practical knowledge of processing Batik products and to make the sample products as a reference for similar products. This research uses a qualitative approach. Data collection techniques used are observation, interviews, and documentation regarding natural dyes and batik making techniques. The results of this study indicate a positive impact in the development of the Mega Mendung batik as an Eco-product in the Trusmi Batik Center Area. First the Mega Mendung batik was developed using conventional methods without natural ingredients. Then natural dyes were used for the Mega Mendung motif, which are red-blue coloring, with a red cloth background and blue gradation on the motif. Campaign also conducted through Eco-promotion, Mega Mendung batik now has a much higher selling value based on the type of natural batik fabric, such as in printed batik, embroidered batik cloth, and contemporary batik. In the future, this Eco-product development needs to be continued for Mega Mendung batik to stay as one of the distinguished culture of Cirebon.
Proceedings of the 4th International Colloquium on Interdisciplinary Islamic Studies in conjunction with the 1st International Conference on Education, Science, Technology, Indonesian and Islamic Studies, ICIIS and ICESTIIS 2021, 20-21 October 2021, Jambi, Indonesia, 2022
Research on the use and management of dyes in the dyeing process of Jambi batik has been carried out with a qualitative approach. This research aims to determine the types of dyes used in the batik dyeing process and determine waste management. Researchers follow the phenomenology approach, with an in-depth analysis of synthetic dyes used by batik craftsmen and the methods used by batik craftsmen in processing these dyes before being dumped into the river. Batik craftsmen use synthetic direct dyes because they are considered more practical and durable than natural dyes. Craftsmen have not fully processed the dye waste before being discharged into the environment. Therefore, the government, ulama, and universities are very much needed in advocacy and training on wastewater treatment. This study provides an exciting opportunity to advance the knowledge of researchers and the public about synthetic dyes in the batik process and increase the awareness of batik craftsmen to the environment.

Mass and rapid production of batik using synthetic color and printing techniques engenders environmental problems such as waste production, air pollution, water pollution, unhealthy and hazardous work environment, and a threat to the sustainability of hand-drawn batik. Clean production is one solution to this problem. This paper discusses the practice of batik with natural coloring based on the theory of clean production with an ecofeminist perspective. The method employed in this research is a case study with a one-unit production (cluster) approach of Putri Kawung batik community. The findings show that the practice of clean batik production in Putri Kawung batik community still focuses on the input and process of using natural coloring, material selection, and reuse of wax materials. This shows that the role of women through community gradually practices clean production, even though it has not yet extended to its output processing.

Indonesian batik is usually produced by Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) which tend to induce environmental problems. Batik wastewater has caused pollution in some regions of Central Java, resulting in odour, allergic reactions among the local population, and the degradation of water quality. Batik production also requires a substantial volume of water. This study examines the water footprint of natural coloured hand drawn batik-making process by a small enterprise in the Jarum village, Klaten. Blue Water Footprint was determined by direct measurement, while Grey Water Footprint was estimated by calculating the water required to dilute COD. High concentration of TSS, BOD5, and COD were found in natural dye extracts and wastewater. The Water Footprint (WF) analysis indicated that Grey Water Footprint was 37,343.15 L/d, which has a higher portion in the total WF than the Blue Water Footprint which was only 105.63 L/d. This result indicated the need to reduce pollution and to increa...

1st Virtual Workshop on Writing Scientific Article for International Publication Indexed SCOPUS
The international acknowledgment of batik as an Indonesian cultural treasure has fueled the batik industry's fast growth. The batik industry's rapid expansion would definitely benefit the national economy and create jobs, eventually improving people's welfare. Along with the good effects, the expansion of the batik business has a number of negative implications, including environmental concerns. The purpose of this study is to assess the environmental impact of raw materials and industrial waste batik. The descriptive qualitative approach was employed in this study. The findings indicated that the raw materials used in the batik industry, consisting of wax and dyes, was very influential on the environment because the chemical substances contained therein derived from chemicals and synthesis will produce industrial waste that is toxic and carcinogenic. The impact of using raw materials and batik industry waste (liquid) makes water smelly and colored, Increases levels of COD, BOD, pH, and organic compounds in water that can interfere with ecosystems and aquatic biota. In the study, the author also provides recommendations in reducing the production of liquid waste, namely by treating liquid waste naturally, using the help of installation tools for wastewater treatment, and replacing synthetic dyes that are harmful to the environment with natural dyes.
