Abstract

The aim of this study is to evaluate the environmental impact of the wood table production process using the Life Cycle Assessment. Case studies are carried out in a wood furniture SME in Indonesia. Each activity is modelled using primary data, related to the input and output of the process. The production process includes four phases: sawing process, construction process, assembly process, and finishing process. The system boundary includes all activities that occur within the woodworking plant including material and energy consumption, transportation, and additional products used. The study concluded that the most affected categories were climate change, human toxicity, and metal depletion. While the most contributing production processes are finishing.
