Abstract
Research on the use and management of dyes in the dyeing process of Jambi batik has been carried out with a qualitative approach. This research aims to determine the types of dyes used in the batik dyeing process and determine waste management. Researchers follow the phenomenology approach, with an in-depth analysis of synthetic dyes used by batik craftsmen and the methods used by batik craftsmen in processing these dyes before being dumped into the river. Batik craftsmen use synthetic direct dyes because they are considered more practical and durable than natural dyes. Craftsmen have not fully processed the dye waste before being discharged into the environment. Therefore, the government, ulama, and universities are very much needed in advocacy and training on wastewater treatment. This study provides an exciting opportunity to advance the knowledge of researchers and the public about synthetic dyes in the batik process and increase the awareness of batik craftsmen to the environment.
