An important issue in the principle of green industry that needs to be understood and implemented is industries in their production processes implement sustainable efficiency and effectiveness in resources. The green industry is not only oriented towards improving the economic sector but also concerned with environmental sustainability. So the negative impact on the environment and the use of natural resources providers of industrial supports, does not result in a decrease in the carrying capacity and capacity of the environment. Therefore to realize the textile industry and textile products that are environmentally friendly, the necessity to develop industrial performance by integrating the principles of the green industry into the production process. This paper will explain the implementation of green industry characteristics that can be adapted into each stage of the production process in the textile industry and textile products, especially the batik industry. The characteristics of the green industry include the efficiency of the use of input materials, namely raw materials and auxiliary materials and the use of alternative materials that are more environmentally friendly, low energy and water intensity, minimization of waste both liquid and solid waste and reducing emissions due to the use of low-carbon technology. Each characteristic is equipped with criteria in the green industry standard (GIS) that can be used by textile and textile products industrialists, especially the batik industry in implementing the principles of the green industry.
