Abstract
Batik industries in general are classified as Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs) with major problems related to environmental management and inefficiency of resource consumption. These problems cannot be solved by end of pipe approaches, instead, management since the upstream of the production process needs to be employed. The green industry is a concept that relevant to those problems since this prioritizes efficient resource use. The Indonesian government has developed the Green Industry Standard as a tool to assess the soundness of the industries and to promote the capability to compete in the global market. Globally, there are several concepts similar to the green industry, for example, eco-innovation and resource efficient and cleaner production (RECP) that have their own assessment tools to measure the readiness of the industries. This study aims to elaborate aspects in Green Industry Standard with other assessment tools to understand the readiness of Batik industries through Ministry of Industry Regulation Number 39 of 2019 regarding Green Industry Standard for Batik Industries. Finally, the new assessment tool was developed consisting of four major aspects, namely company characterization, description of the business model, analysis input and output, and readiness area. Each aspect included some criteria and required relevant data that need to be collected for assessment of the readiness of Batik SMEs in future research.

Summary
Batik is known to the world as a symbol of Indonesian culture, especially since UNESCO recognized batik as a Masterpiece of Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity in 2009. Batik wastewater is discharged directly into absorption wells or other water bodies without proper treatment, so it potentially pollutes the water environment nearby [3]. This happened to the batik industry in Kulon Progo, which received complaints from residents due to changes in the quality of well water which became muddy, smelly, and itchy. This condition has been felt by nearby residents since about 4-5 years ago [4]
