The compilation at the same time serves as a preparation for the “National Policy Dialogue” on this topic conducted on November 28th 2012. A FEW HIGHLIGHTS: Amazing Reach by CBI on the Malaysian Batik Industry: 100 Batik SME, 400 Employees covered! 100 SME batik workshops in Kelantan (83) and Terengganu (17) participated ,with much enthusiasm and great appreciation (at no costs) , this project. CBI proudly has reached out and “greened” a considerable share of the entire Malaysian Batik Industry. Coordinated by a Technical Expert, the 5 Technical Consultants coached 20 batik SME’s each. As each batik SME was visited about 8 times, 800 coaching visits to Malaysian batik SME’s were conducted in total! to 400 staff of the respective Batik workshops, and therefore a considerable part of the entire Malaysian batik employees. The project provided coaching on “greener production practices as awareness building. 3 Over 64 days of events were conducted with SME and other stakeholders. CBI consisted of 3 different project phases: Phase 1: Cleaner Production (80%, done) Phase 2: Marketing Component (10%, in process) Phase 3: Policy Dialogue (regional as national level, 10%, in process) Know-How remains in the Region! One expert and 5 technical coaches, all originating from the respective provinces of implementation, Kelantan and Terengganu, have gained in-depth knowledge of the practices of coaching cleaner production. They have been selected from the respective provinces to secure sustainability and we believe they could be of great future value to “copy-paste” the concept to further batik workshops as to possibly even other industries. Great Visibility of CBI: Press conferences, media, online information, websites etc. have created a great visibility of the project. An example was the CBI information booth a IGEM in October, which resulted in the Malaysian Prime Minister, several Federal Minister, Chief Ministers and further stakeholder giving positive comments and showing sincere interest in this valuable project in developing one of Malaysia’s “close-to-the-heart” and entirely “home-grown” industries. Results of CBI • • • • • Up to 50% of energy savings is estimated to be achieved Health and Safety has been implemented An appropriate Chemical Management has been introduced into the Industry Environmental Awareness has been created among the Industry Challenges of the Industry have been Identified 4 Marketing Survey A detailed market survey was conducted to evaluate the structure of the product marketing by the batik workshops. As 97 respondents from 100 workshops the outcome provides valuable information on the entire Malaysian batik industry: • • • • • Current marketing and sales practices Challenges faced within Limited client structure and sales structure of many batik workshops Rather low degree of export orientation Other major challenges such a human resource factors, design and copyright violation issues etc. Batik Industry in most challenging times ever Although CBI focused on the cleaner production our close contact “down to the workshop level”, Our talks with the stakeholders as a.m. surveys have revealed a very challenging scenario for the Entire Malaysian batik industry. Possibly the Malaysian batik industry is facing a major, if not the Strongest challenge ever, in terms of structure challenges, increase of competition and price hikes such in raw material: • The 2010 development of ASEAN + 1 (+ China) has caused a massive influx of cheapprinted batik from China, which are sometime prized down to half of Malaysian batiks. • During the last 2 years the raw material cost (mostly cotton and silk),which is purchased from China, has increase somewhat between 70-100% ! Such an increase is a major threat for the Malaysian batik industry. • This is even more relevant, as the popularity in Malaysian batik has only grown very selectively and only in a few segments. Overall growth has been weak. Malaysian batik has not experienced the amazing upswing in batik, which can be observed for instance in Indonesia. In Indonesia for example batik attire has become much more popular during the past 3 years and is worn in everyday life on every day of the week 5 Clean Batik Initiative Events 24.05.2011 •CBI Launch in Kuala Lumpur •RPID in KB 02.10.2011 •SME-PID in KB 03.10.2011 •TOT in KB 8.-12.11.2011 18.19.12.2011 12.01.2012 •Mini TOT •RPID in KT •RSME-PID in KT •Workshop A in KB 14.01.2012 • Workshop A in KT 05.03.2012 27. – 28.03.2012 02.06.04.2012 •TOT B in KT •Ekonid’s visit •Workshop B in KT 21.05.2012 •Workshop B in KB 28.05.2012 •CBI 1st Evaluation 16.06.2012 •EU Field Trip Visit 26.06.2012 •Natural Dyes Workshop 14.07.2012 6 Marketing Seminars & Policy Dialogues 12.09.2012 19.09.2012 02.10.2012 10.13.10.2012 18.10.2012 28.10.2012 23.10.2012 03.11.2012 04. – 06.11.2012 28.11.2012 • Local Policy Dialogue in KB • Marketing Seminar for Multipliers & SMEs in KB • Local Policy Dialogue in KT • Exhibition at CSR Conference KL • Exhibition at IGEM2012 KL • Marketing Seminar for SMEs & Multipliers in KT • Marketing Seminar for SMEs in KB • Marketing Seminar for SMEs in KB • EU ROM Visit • Press Conference • National Policy Dialogue 7 REPORT OF CLEAN BATIK INITIATIVE (CBI) PROGRAMME OUTCOME By Professor Dr. Nik Meriam Nik Sulaiman (Technical Expert) 8 TABLE OF CONTENT 1.0 SOCIO-ECONOMIC PROFILING OF PEMBATIK 10 2.0 CLEAN BATIK INITIATIVE PROGRAMME (CBI) OUTPUTS 16 i.

Directory of 100 Batik SMEs in Kelantan and Terengganu 32 9 1.0 SOCIO-ECONOMIC PROFILING OF PEMBATIK 100 batik manufacturers were selected as participants for the CBI project. There were 83 participants from Kelantan and 17 from Terengganu. They were selected from a number of sources. • Directory from Kraftangan • Listing from DOE • Listing from Koperasi Pengusaha Batik • Personal list from CBI team The final selection was carefully vetted thorough field visits by CBI team. The final directory of participant is given in Appendix A. It is observed that there are a few types of business transactions in Kelantan and Terengganu for batik trade, namely: • Make batik, sell to traders, consumers • Make batik, under contract to other parties • Make batik, sell directly to consumers BATIK SMES LOCATION A. Kelantan The total batik SMEs in Kelantan involved in CBI programme is 83. The batik SMEs were chosen based on their full batik operation process and are located in Kota Bharu, Pantai Cahaya Bulan, Tumpat, Melor, and Bachok. 10 Table 1.1: Batik SMEs in Kelantan Cluster SMEs Kota Bharu Pantai Cahaya Bulan Tumpat Bachok Melor Total Number Percentage 41 50% 30 36% 10 1 1 83 12% 1% 1% 100% Batik SMEs Cluster in Kelantan 1% 1% 12% Kota Bharu Pantai Cahaya Bulan 50% 36% Tumpat Bachok Melor Figure 1.1: Batik SMEs Cluster in Kelantan Most of the batik SMEs are located in the urban centres of Kelantan namely Kota Bharu. This is because Kota Bharu is situated in a strategic place to perform the trading such as the availability of resources such as chemicals, raw materials and skilled workers. 11 B. Terengganu The total batik SMEs in Terengganu involved in CBI programme is 17. The batik SME were chosen based on their full batik operation process and are located in Kuala Terengganu, Marang and Dungun.

HR DEVELOPMENT The human resource development in this project primarily involves the training of Technical Consultant (TCs) who then train on the 100 Batik SMEs. The TCs were mainly fresh graduate from technical field (engineering & science). Only 1 TC has work experience in the area of Information Technology (IT). 4 TCs were allocated in Kelantan and the remaining TC in Terengganu. The period of contract covered January 2012 until July 2012. The details of the TCs are given in Table 1.8 below: Table 1.8: Technical Consultant (TCs) in Kelantan and Terengganu No Name Education Background Environmental Science & Management Location 1 Hanis Alyani Hisham 2 Mohd Hafeeq Ibrahim Mechanical Engineering Kelantan 3 Fitradana Mohd A’arif Computer Science Kelantan 4 Afniza Zulkifli Chemical Engineering Kelantan 5 Sharifah Faizan Tuan Bidin Chemical Engineering Terengganu Kelantan Skills acquired •Batik making / Cleaner Production knowledge or experiences •Project management skills •Strong communication and interpersonal skills •Strong language skills: fluent in written and spoken in English, Bahasa Melayu and Bahasa Kelantan / Terengganu •Field work experience / ability ‘to click’ with simple local workshop owners 16 II. KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER Knowledge transfer to batik SMEs in Kelantan and Terengganu were achieved through the training and discussion during workshop sessions as stated below: Workshop A •Cleaner Production concept in batik SMEs •Benefits for batik SMEs Workshop B •Good housekeeping practices; including chemical management, safety at workplace, labeling, arrangement of equipment •Energy saving •Waste recovery (wax) •Water saving •Documentation to batik SMEs For many of the batik SMEs, this is their first encounter with the concept of Cleaner Production applicable to their premise. It was observed that basic form of saving in the use of wax and water were already practiced for economical reason. Many batik SMEs had difficulty in attending formal workshop session due to logistic reason. In this case, informal workshops sessions were conducted on small basis at their premise. As part of initiative on replacement of synthetic dyes, an introductory training session on the use of natural dyes was given by a local expert on natural dyes (En Aziz) to selected batik SMEs in Kelantan in early July 2012. 17 III. HOTSPOTS DATA Losses whether mass or energy that occurs within the batik SMEs are identified using hotspots which are mapped onto the eco-maps. Generally the relevant 40 hotspots are categorized under energy, water, chemical and raw material. During the Technical Assistance phase of the project the hotspots data collected can be summarized below: For Kelantan: Chemical Energy 24% 23% Water Raw Material 22% 31% Major hotspot - chemical management (35%): (i) Chemicals not properly placed (ii) Located in different places (iii) Do not have specific shelf to store their chemicals (iv) No label on each container of chemicals (v) Did not document the usage of chemicals 2nd major hotspot - energy consumption (27%): (i) Did not make significant effort to reduce energy usage (ii) Do not have safety signage for energy conservation 18 For Terengganu: Chemical 24% 23% Energy Water Raw Material 22% 31% Major hotspot - energy (31%): (i) Did not make significant efforts to reduce energy usage (ii) Do not have safety signage for energy conservation (iii) Did not store their firewood in a proper manner. Leave the firewood exposed to the rain, resulting in wet biomass and higher usage of firewood. 2nd major hotspot - raw material usage (24%): (i) Did not document the usage of cloth, wax and resin (ii) Did not make an effort to reduce, recover and reuse wax during the process of stamping or mencanting batik. 19 IV. ENERGY SAVING IN BATIK PREMISES The main energy consumption during batik making process involve is the de-waxing process where the batik material have to be boiled to remove wax. The fuel supply to boil water is either wood, gas and electricity. The inefficiency in energy usage stem from the incomplete combustion of the wet biomass (wood) leading to higher energy usage. From the Indonesian experience (EKONID), provision of the blower to supply air can help to reduce consumption of wood. In this project, heavy duty blowers were provided to 5 selected batik SMEs in Kelantan and Terengganu. Based on the experience gathered in Indonesia, it can be estimated that 50% of the energy can be saved. IKS CBI-A-16 CBI-F-88 CBI-P-47 CBI-S-67 CBI-F-92 Total Energy consumption before Firewood (kg) Gas (kg) 1000 84 1000 not applied 1200 48 720 84 14,400 504 18320 720 Estimated energy consumption after Firewood (kg) Gas (kg) 500 42 500 not applied 600 24 360 42 7200 252 9160 360 Furthermore efficient use of energy was promoted through provision of appropriate signage at critical spots in batik premise. Another example of energy saving is the provision of skylight in the roof for natural lighting purposes. These measures led to direct cost savings for the Batik premises. Taking the values provided by the CP-DOE project, whereby 1 kg of firewood costs RM0.10 and 1 kg of gas cost RM1.80. The annual costs for firewood amounting RM1832 and gas amounting RM1296 will be expected to decrease by 50% after the use of blowers. (RM916 & RM648) 20 IV. WATER USAGE IN BATIK PREMISES Water is use extensively in batik making to washing for remove excess dyes. There are a lot of variations in term of the procedure for the washing process. Observed Batik SMEs use either groundwater or JBA to source their water. The diagram shows the sources Batik producers use to get the water for their 7% Production. None of the batik SMEs measure the 28% actual consumption of water. That for CBI-TCs JBA used a measuring jug and estimated for 1 month Groundwater during Technical Assistance 1. Using this method JBA & Groundwater CBI estimated an annual water consumption of 65% 12,000 L – 470,000 , depending on production. It was observed that many batik SMEs are already practicing water recycling through cascading use of water. It was difficult to estimate the amount of saving achieve in this manner. VI. WAX RECOVERY Almost all batik SMEs have tried to recover their wax because the presence of wax will block or disturb their flow of waste water in the drain. Through improved good housekeeping measures in this project, up to 6% wax recovery has been achieved. Most of batik SMEs especially batik block recover and reuse their wax for the same process. While in batik canting category, they normally do not reuse the wax in canting process due to the high quality of wax needed in batik canting production. Thus, they sell the wax to interested parties and normally to batik block producers. The quality of wax used in batik block is less than batik canting, thus they can reuse the wax recovered from batik canting producers. 21 VII. GOOD HOUSEKEEPING PRACTICES It was observed that many batik premises lack good housekeeping practices resulting in dirty working condition. In this project, 4 improvements related to good housekeeping practices were implemented: (a) Chemical management Most of Batik SMEs did not label chemical containers and beside the use of improper containers. Examples of chemicals used in batik making process are: • Reactive dyes (Remazol, Pocian, Drimarine etc) • Naphthol • Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) • sodium alginate • Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) • Sodium silicate (Na2Si03) • Hydrochloric Acid (HCL) • Sodium Hydrosulfide (NaHS) • Sodium Carbonate (Soda ash) Some of this chemical are toxic and the dyes can contain heavy metal can cause harm to workers and the environment. Simple measure such as provision of proper storage of chemical together with appropriate labeling can help to reduce unwanted incident in the batik premise. In this program, batik SMEs were provided with storage items such as rack for dyes, dye container, storage box, weighing balance, measuring jug, and trolley. Table 1.9 below shows the items that were given to batik SMEs in Kelantan and Terengganu to manage their chemicals. The Table 1.10 also shows the improvement in the before and after the implementation. 22 Table 1.9: Items that were given to batik SMEs in Kelantan and Terengganu No Items 1 Dye container (powder & liquid) 2 Chemical storage box Pictures 23 No 1 2 Before Dye containers are placed everywhere After Provide a rack and dye containers Chemical containers are not compatible with the Provide a closed container to put the resin chemical characteristics of wax and resin and wax 24 (b) Labeling Labeling of containers is important to provide information to others about the material contents in the container. In addition, hazard information should be put on the container so that people are made aware of the dangers of handling these chemicals. The information needed before the labeling is the chemical name, danger symbols, chemical characteristic and safety precaution when handling. CBI help batik SMEs by providing label of chemicals used in batik premises. Examples of labeling in batik SMEs in Kelantan and Terengganu is shown in table 1.11 below: No Before After 1 25 (c) Safety at Workplace The chemicals used in batik making process have significant effect to human if the handling of chemicals is incorrect. It was observed that many of batik SMEs did not take adequate precautions by wearing Personal protective Equipment (PPE) when dealing with chemicals. The consequences for mishandling chemicals include skin irritation, skin cancer, eye irritation and body injured. Thus, taking safety management is important to prevent accidents happening at the workplace. CBI has provided batik SMEs with Personal protective Equipment (PPE) including goggle, glove, industrial apron, mask, and safety boots. For some batik SMEs that already have Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in their premise, the awareness on the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) has been taught to batik SMEs. They also have been provided safety signage on proper use of chemicals and to practice safety at workplace. Table 1.12 shows the improvement in terms of safety at workplace. Table 1.13 shows the safety signage or posters that have been given to batik SMEs in Kelantan and Terengganu: 26 Table 1.12: Improvement on safety at workplace of batik SMEs in Kelantan and Terengganu 27 Table 1.13: Safety signage/ posters given to batik SME in Kelantan and Terengganu 28 29 (d) Documentation Generally, batik SMEs do not practice proper documentation on the use of resources, cataloguing of their product and proper accounting of batik production. Documentation is important because it can provide a record keeping of their activities and provide opportunities of improvement for batik making process. Examples of documentation that were given to batik SMEs are: • Raw material documentation (cloth, chemical, dyes, wax) • Product documentation (batik sarung, kaftan, kain ela) • Workers documentation (attendance, health record) • Utilities documentation (water and electricity bill) The table 1.14 below shows the documentations that has been provided to batik SMEs in Kelantan and Terengganu. Table 1.14: Documentations that has been given to batik SMEs in Kelantan and Terengganu 30 Environmental Aspects of 100 Batik SMEs in Kelantan & Terengganu 4 different aspects of Hotspots have been identified in the CBI project. In particular chemical management, awareness, safety and wastewater treatment. a. Chemical management - There is no properly designated area to store chemicals, Chemical containers are not compatible with the chemical characteristics, chemicals are not properly placed, do not have specific shelves to store the chemicals, placement of chemicals which are exposed to rain and leaks that could damage the quality of chemicals, did not label chemicals. b. Awareness - There is no effort from batik SME to recover the wax, there is no effort from batik SME to recover the water, did not use PPE in production process even they know about the hazard, lack of awareness in term of chemical safety, no effort to avoid chemical spillage c. Safety – Lack of knowledge on importance of PPE in production process, did not take adequate precaution by wearing PPE when dealing with chemicals d. Waste water treatment - Did not have waste water treatment, lack of knowledge on how to treat their waste Identified Hotspots 64, 20% 95, 29% Chemical Management Awareness Safety 93, 28% 76, 23% Out of the 100 participating SMEs, 95% don’t know how to treat wastewater, 93% have a lack of awareness, 76% have a safety issue and 64% do not have an adequate chemical management.

After the successful implementation into their production process, several Marketing Workshops have been conducted in order to enhance the capabilities of enterprises to market their sustainable produced batik. On the one hand the participating SME’s have been directly trained and on the other hand multipliers have been trained in order to spread marketing knowledge among the entire industry. SMEs have been directly addressed. These workshops have been conducted in Bahasa Melayu, due to the lack of English capabilities among the participating SMEs and took place on the 12.09.2012 & 23.10.2012 in Kota Bharu and on the 18.10.2012 in Kelantan. Following topics have been covered within the marketing workshop. • Promotion • Exhibition • Price and Negotiation • Product and Design • Marketing • Public Relation External experts where invited to address the participants on certain topics. 62 “CBI-participants eager to learn new aspects on the consumption side” “The topics offered at the marketing workshops gained a high level of attention” “Project officer monitoring batik workers training their newly gained knowledge and skills during a role play” “Equipped with new knowledge and capabilities these batik workers look forward to business” “The participants have been highly grateful for the efforts and improvements given by CBI” 63
