Introduction Why Batik Industry?

The most valuable handicraft in Indonesia

Acknowledged by UNESCO as the world cultural heritage from Indonesia

High concentration of SME: > 50.000 and work force: 1 million (Ministry of Industry, 2013)

Representation of women

Contribution to tourism sector and local and national economic development Batik export value: US$1,5 billion (Ministry of Trade, 2013)

Generate negative impact on environment

Excessive use of energy, water and raw materials

Unsafe work environment

6


Common Practices in Batik Industry

• Washing processed batik in the river

7



• High volume of waste water directly thrown out untreated to the environment • Inadequate waste water treatment facility

8



•  Excessive use of water •  Water-spillage, leaking

9



•  Inefficient wax and synthetic dyes usage

10



•  High dependency on kerosene (stove) and firewood (furnace) •  High level of CO2 emission

11



•  Improper chemical handling, inadequate working safety tools

Sustainable Production in Batik Industry

CLEANER PRODUCTION Strategy of preventive environmental management, integrated and continuosly applied to any activity ranging from downstream to upstream processes associated with the production, products and services to improve the efficient use of natural resources, to prevent environmental pollution and to reduce waste and also to minimize risks of human health and safety also environmental damage

Sustainable Production in Batik Industry Resource Efficiency & Cleaner Production

Preventive Improve Efficiency Reduce waste

Minimize risk of human health,

safety and environmental

damage

14


Cleaner Production – 5R Concept

•  Think before act Re-think •  Reduce environmental impact

through efficient management and waste processing

Reduce

•  Reuse to address the issue of over consumption Reuse

•  Recover to separate usable materials from waste Recovery

•  Recycle waste to a usable state Recycle

Impact in Numbers (water & raw material efficiencies)

Water saving: 1,5 million L/ year Raw material saving • Wax: 40,000 Kg/year • Synthetic dyes : 300 Kg/year

Sustainable Production in Batik Industry Water Efficiency

Water Efficiency Problem?

Water scarcity Limited availability of water resources 1 piece of batik cloth production requires ....?????

Water Usage in Batik Industry

Wax Removal Washing Fabric & Equipment

Dyeing Process

Fabric Pre-treatment

19


Wax removal Washing Dyeing Fabric Pre-treatment

Inefficiency: • Excessive water usage • Leaking plumbing, unclosed faucet • Water spillage

20


How to safe water in batik industry ?

• Reusing initial waste water • Turning off faucets when not in use • Creating water reservoir (to collect rain water) • Resizing dyeing and washing basins according to production capacity • Using flow-meter to monitor water usage • Installing stop valve on hose terminal

21

Sustainable Production in Batik Industry Waste Reduction & Waste Water Management

Raw Material Efficiency Problem ? • Expensive • Increasing price • Limited availability

Synthetic dye

Wax

Wax Recovery

+HCl ---> 25% more result in wax recovery

Before After

Wax Recovery

“Kowen” system Increase wax recovery : 20%

Sustainable Production in Batik Industry Challenges

“Most of Indonesian Batik SMEs are micro-scale, traditional, and lack of consciousness about environment” Unsustainable Production Behavior • Poor chemical handling • Waste water goes directly to the river • Resource inefficiency

31


“ As traditional industry, batik SME’s always put culture sensitiveness in the first place.” SME reluctance •  Social aspect •  Economical Aspect •  Clustering Difficulties •  SME’s Availability

32


“ SMEs does not interested to “SWITCH” if there’s no market” Niche Market for “Green” Product •  Lack of Demand •  High Price •  Limited color and design

“ Lack of support from related stakeholders”
