Tirtomoyo District, Wonogiri Regency, has a Wonogiren Batik SMI Center and is designated as a regional superior product. The purpose of the research is to be able to provide solutions to create a green industry in the Wonogiren Batik SMI center against the potential threat of the reservoir water quality standard without having to turn off the existing SMI center in Tirtomoyo District. The research method is Mixed Methods Research which combines qualitative and quantitative research and data sources using primary and secondary data. The results showed that the presence of SMI batik has the potential to pollute waterways. To anticipate pollution that is too widespread, waste treatment can be carried out and the use of raw materials that are more environmentally friendly.
