Abstract

The strategic implementation of alternative raw materials has emerged as a pivotal approach to enhance cost efficiency and sustainability within the craft industry. This study employs a literature review approach to examine the use of local materials, organic waste, and recycled materials as substitutes for conventional inputs in MSME production. The findings indicate that replacing traditional raw materials can reduce production costs by up to 50% while enhancing product competitiveness in environmentally friendly markets. This innovation also generates social impact through the empowerment of local communities and the establishment of shorter supply chains. Nevertheless, challenges such as supply instability, technical limitations, and a paucity of regulatory support persist as significant obstacles. Consequently, a collaborative effort among government entities, micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs), designers, and research institutions is imperative to fortify the sustainable innovation ecosystem. The study's findings indicate that the adoption of alternative material innovations is not only conducive to economic efficiency but also serves as a catalyst for more inclusive and environmentally sustainable development.

Abstract

This article examines the role of process innovation in improving operational efficiency within the plastic recycling industry, particularly among small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Operational efficiency serves as a key factor in ensuring both sustainability and profitability amid growing environmental concerns and the global shift toward a circular economy. Through an extensive literature review of international sources, this study highlights how the adoption of technologies such as sensor-based automatic sorting systems, energy-efficient washing, the Internet of Things (IoT), and supply chain digitalization can reduce production costs, enhance product quality, and increase production capacity. However, findings also indicate that several challenges persist, including limited investment capital, low technological literacy, infrastructural disparities, and regulatory uncertainty. Therefore, the success of process innovation in the recycling industry depends heavily on collaborative support from governments, research institutions, industry associations, and NGOs. This paper contributes both theoretically and practically by proposing a conceptual framework that links process innovation, operational efficiency, and sustainability, serving as a foundation for strengthening SMEs toward an inclusive and competitive green industry
