Abstract
Coconut (Cocos nucifera) is Malaysia's fourth-largest industry, and its outer husk is a sustainable, accessible, and cheap fibrous waste. The rise of copper as the primary material has affected the making of blocks ‘sarang’ tools and, in turn, impacted the selling price. If these issues continue, it could push the Malaysian block batik to the brink of extinction. Thus, sustainability towards the blocks ‘sarang' is required. This paper discovers and explores potential solutions through sustainable materials as new materials to minimise the cost. The result will give alternative materials besides copper to facilitate the growth of the Malaysian batik industry.
