This research discusses the utilization of natural products as an alternative batik dye that is more environmentally friendly than synthetic dyes. The research was conducted at Purwo carito Batik House, Botoputih Village, Temanggung. Batik, as an Indonesian cultural heritage, not only has high aesthetic value, but also faces challenges due to the use of synthetic dyes that have the potential to damage health and the environment. Purwo carito batik house innovates by using natural dyes from various plant sources, such as tegeran wood, tingi wood, and mango leaves, which produce unique and charming colors. The dyeing process involves the stages of mordanting, extracting, and dyeing, which are optimized to produce long-lasting colors. The results show that the use of natural dyes not only strengthens the artistic value and competitiveness of batik, but also supports environmental sustainability. The conclusion of this study emphasizes the importance of developing natural dyeing techniques in the batik industry to preserve culture while safeguarding public health and the environment.
