PALMOILMAGAZINE, SOLO – The Batik community in Kampoeng Laweyan is dedicated to preserving Indonesia’s cultural heritage. In partnership with the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), Kampoeng Laweyan has initiated an innovative program focused on batik production.
This collaboration aims to promote batik as a cultural tradition while introducing environmentally-friendly products to the market.
Windrawan, Deputy Director of RSPO, emphasized that traditional batik materials are derived from petrochemicals, which are not environmentally friendly, as they are based on crude oil. This is why RSPO has taken the commendable step of introducing an eco-friendly malam (a substance used in the batik-making process) made from sustainable palm oil.
