ANALYSIS OF COST AND SOCIAL BENEFIT IN ECO PRINTING CRAFT PRODUCT TO INCREASE WOMEN ENTREPRENEUR WELFARE

Abstract

The application of Eco-printing techniques to fashion and art materials adds to the economic value of the materials of these products because these products have very high functional and artistic value. The study objectives are to analyse the economic and social costs and benefits of eco-friendly eco-printing techniques. Eco-printing techniques that are environmentally friendly require more time and effort than the application of eco-printing techniques that use chemical substances. Therefore, the products resulting from eco-friendly eco-printing techniques are higher than those of non-environmentally friendly products. The cost and benefit analysis result is that Eco-printing production has vast and various benefits, even though Eco-printing products are more expensive than regular ones. Eco-printing crafters should grow together and support each- other. The competition among crafters is almost zero because of its unique pattern, which only one pattern in each product. Each crafter has her/his character and uniqueness, which others cannot imitate. Crafters should learn more about stitching, cutting, designing and developing their Eco-printing products. The conclusion is that eco-friendly products have significant economic and social benefits that can still be optimized.
