Sustainability of Batik wastewater quality management strategies: analytical hierarchy process

Abstract

Batik industries have some positive impact on economic growth and socio-cultural development. However, they also produce wastewater in large quantities with high pH, containing biochemical oxygen demand, containing chemical oxygen demand and also have a substance of total suspended solid that do not meet quality standards and also could have negative impacts on the environment. Paoman village, Indramayu regency, is one of the batik small industries supporting economic and socio-cultural development in local communities, although there is an installations system of wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). The study aimed to identify priorities in wastewater management on batik industrial center based on environmental studies, economic studies and social factors in the local community and institutional aspects using analytical hierarchy process. The priorities were identified as follows: (1) application of WWTP systems and technologies for environmental aspect, (2) understanding the perceptions of batik small and medium enterprises (SMEs) for the social aspect, and (3) the cost of installation, operation and maintenance of WWTP for economic aspect.

Institutional Barriers and Facilitators of Sustainability for Indonesian Batik SMEs: A Policy Agenda

“…These limitations in terms of knowledge, thus, often relate to ecological aspects of sustainability practices, such as reducing pollution and opting for safer raw materials. A lack of sustainability awareness is also caused by limited information obtained by entrepreneurs about the ecological, social, and economic benefits and risks of becoming more sustainable [39][40][41][42]. There is also a lack of awareness related to the socio-cultural aspects of sustainability, as entrepreneurs are often unsuccessful in integrating sustainability into their SMEs' cultures.…”

“…To conclude this literature review, the theoretical concepts used in this study point to the dimensions of barriers in the extant literature as knowledge, socio-cultural, and policies or regulations [35,36,[38][39][40][41]48]. In comparison, the dimensions of facilitators include ecological, socio-cultural, technological, and political factors [21][22][23]25,49].…”

“…Women in Indonesia still experience limited access to information, especially those who live in rural areas; thus, their knowledge regarding sustainable products is still limited. Knowledge barriers have also been identified in previous research on individual entrepreneurs, who may have limited information about the potential benefits and risks of becoming more sustainable [39][40][41][42], but none of these studies has mentioned the struggle connected with a lack of knowledge on the customer side. This study, thus, adds a new perspective on knowledge barriers, specifically in the context of batik SMEs.…”

Pilot-scale Evaluation of an Anaerobic/Anoxic/Oxic Process for Nitrogen Removal from Sewage Using Metagenomic Sequencing

“…During the production of hydrogen peroxide, the treatment of effluents that contain a large amount of inorganic and organic pollutants, such as ammonium salts, 2-ethylanthraquinone, 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene, and trioctyl phosphate, is challenging [2]. Traditional biological treatment does not meet the new local standards; chemical oxygen demand by dichromate (CODcr <60 mg/L, NH4-N <8.0 mg/L) for direct discharge [3]. Consequently, several biological processes, such as anaerobic-anoxic-aerobic (AAO), anaerobic-anoxic-aerobicaerobic (AAOO), and anaerobic-aerobic-anoxic-aerobic (AOAO), have emerged [4].…”

Adsorption of Anionic and Cationic Dyes in Batik Wastewater Using Biomass Adsorbents: Literature Review

“…Batik wastewater treatment and water quallity management is dedicated to preserving batik as a cultural heritage, reduces wastewater from batik production, maintains water quality that can support human needs and ecosystem services, while promoting a sustainable batik culture [8]. It can be helpful.…”
