Batik is an industry that is widely available in Indonesia. It is a product that has become a cultural heritage which is still being produced from generation to generation. Most of batik production is done by Small and Medium Enterprises (SME). Batik materials contain chemicals. So that it has the potential to cause negative impacts on the environment. Batik industry does not care about that. That was caused by limited resources so that it was still oriented to the quantity of production. This study aims to analyze the environmental impact and determine the Eco-Efficiency Index (EEI) due to the batik production process using the eco-efficiency method. This method analyzes the use of raw materials and their impact on the environment, as well as eco costs. The results showed the environmental impact consisting of Human Health factors of 0.20571247 DALY, Ecosystem Quality factor of 203994.79 PDF * m2yr and Resources factor 94449,809MJ surplus. The environmental impact caused a total eco cost of Rp. IDR 4,769,679,764.48. And the EEI is 0.0039, which means that the industry is affordable but not sustainable. Mangement material can be done to improve this situation is to reduce the use of raw materials. Reduction can be done by recycling raw materials such as wax, water and coloring.
