Abstract

Abstract

The small and medium industry is one of the strategic pillars in promoting economic growth but can damage the environment, moreover if the use of these natural resources without responsibility will undoubtedly reduce the quality of the environment and become unsustainable. The purpose of this research is to encourage business actors to align aspects of natural resource sustainability with waste minimization and internalize social aspects towards environmentally-friendly industries as local wisdom values. The approach method is to investigate the local geniuses concept whose constituent variables have never been tested before. The data collected is processed and analyzed using the Cradle to Cradle concept by modeling industrial processes in natural processes known as the ^biomimetic^ approach. The test results show that the variables forming the structure of the local genius concept contribute to the performance of MSMEs and impact business sustainability. So that can be concluded that the institution can use this study^s findings as a reference for fostering stone handicraft MSMEs towards sustainable small craft industries.
