Achieving cleaner production in SMEs batik toward innovation in production process

This study aims to analysis and identify some options of innovation in the process of making batik in order to implement the concept of cleaner production by presenting the result-type of research of one Small Medium Enterprise (SMEs) Batik which is located in the Pekalongan. Based on the types and the amount of waste generated at each stage, this study proposes a set of alternative of innovation for the implementation of cleaner production in the process of making batik, namely recycle the collected wet wax from “pelorodan” process, reuse the wastewater from the dyeing process, reuse the droplets of wax from the process stamping, reuse the water from “pelorodan” process as long as 3 days before disposal, reuse the water from washing and flushing process as long as 2 days before disposal, and reduce the use of synthetic dyes with natural dyes. Unless the last alternative, all alternatives of innovation which were proposed in this study could give positive net benefit to the enterprise.
