Ceramic manufacturing processes, particularly when conducted on a large-scale industrial level, create aesthetically pleasing and utilitarian products, while at the same time producing waste as an indirect result of the production process. The case of studies in this research is PT Jenggala Keramik Bali, a company located in Jimbaran Bali that has been in operation since 1976, has a yearly average production capacity of 240.000 pieces and produces roughly 1.200 kilograms of clay mixed waste per year, along with other significant waste. The objective of this research is to collect data on the ceramic waste produced by Jenggala in order to explore its potential for later processing and utilization as a ceramics product. This research utilizes the material-driven design approach (MDD), a method that focuses on the systematic identification, experimentation, and comprehensive analysis of material potential. This approach includes both technical and experiential characterization aspects, which offer recommendations for the process and development of the design. This research provided three primary findings: 1) Analysis of data regarding the nine different types of waste produced during the production process at Jenggala; 2) Material properties as a result of waste treatment and experimentation, focusing on two types of materials, SiCera (18 compositions) and TeraMik (10 compositions); 3) The study provides design recommendations for ceramic products, including prototypes for various applications such as building and interior design (e.g., tiles) as well as utensils (e.g., warmer sets).
