The embroidery industry in Kawalu, Tasikmalaya, serves as a primary driver of the local economy; however, its production activities present serious environmental challenges due to the accumulation of fabric scraps that are not optimally managed, thereby triggering ecological waste accumulation. This linear production model contradicts the principle of halalan toyyiban, which strictly prohibits any actions causing environmental degradation (mudarat). This research aims to analyze the implementation of eco-efficiency through fabric waste upcycling strategies in the Kawalu embroidery center and evaluate its effectiveness from a halalan toyyiban perspective. A descriptive qualitative method with a case study approach was employed. Primary data were gathered through field observations and in-depth interviews with local embroidery entrepreneurs in Kawalu, which were subsequently analyzed using data reduction, data display, and conclusion-drawing techniques. The results indicate that implementing eco-efficiency via upcycling fabric scraps into valuable new creative products (such as industrial cleaning rags, accessories, and secondary fashion items) successfully reduces the volume of manufacturing waste and minimizes waste management operational costs. Furthermore, the findings confirm that this upcycling practice fulfills the indicators of the toyyib concept, wherein the production supply chain is not only compliant with sharia law (halal) but also generates communal welfare, minimizes adverse environmental impacts, and transforms waste into a blessed circular economic value.
