Abstract


The Puspita batik industry in Pacitan produces significant waste, especially wax waste in the process of printing into cloth which can pollute the environment and have a negative impact on health if not managed properly. In the context of sustainable development efforts, industrial waste can be converted into high-value products through proper upcycling practices. This study aims to optimize the potential of Puspita Pacitan's batik industry waste as a high quality, sustainable wax product through upcycling. The research steps included characterization of batik waste, formulation experiments, testing the quality of upcycled wax, and environmental impact analysis. Based on the characterization of batik waste, the upcycling wax formulation was changed by adding ingredients to improve product quality and aesthetics which were then evaluated based on the parameters of burning quality, aroma, and physical appearance. Environmental impact analysis involves evaluating the life cycle of wax products to measure the efficiency of upcycling in reducing environmental impact. The results showed that Puspita Pacitan's batik industry waste could be processed into high-quality wax through proper upcycling practices. Life cycle analysis also shows the environmental impact of upcycled candles is lower than conventional candles. This research makes an important contribution to efforts to manage batik industrial waste in a sustainable manner. By optimizing the potential of Puspita Pacitan's batik waste as a high-quality wax product, upcycling can be an alternative to reduce industrial waste and increase the economic value of the product. The results of this activity can inspire other batik industries to implement upcycling practices in their operational activities.
