A life cycle assessment (LCA) is conducted for kitchen cabinet manufacturing in FinfinernFurniture Factory (3F). The LCA methodology is used to assess the environmental impacts andrnexplore ways alleviating environmental burdens at the kitchen cabinet production stages. Thernassessment covered the cradle-to-gate production of major inputs to 3F including theirrntransportation to the factory gate. Primary data were collected on materials and resources usedrnas inputs to, and on the product outputs from the factory. Data for the production of upstreamrninputs and supplements were taken from the USLCI and ELCD databases. The collected datarnwere imported in, and analyzed with the Open LCA software. Emissions from transportation ofrnraw materials were quantified based on emission factors from various studies and guidelines.rnThereafter, the resulting life cycle inventory (LCI) table was evaluated with the CML 2001rnbaseline characterization method to quantify the contribution of the kitchen cabinetrnmanufacturing chain in nine environmental impact categories. The study result indicated thatrnthere is an intensive use of particleboard, medium density fiberboard, lumber, and polyvinylrnchloride. There is also large environmental impact contribution from the production and use ofrnthese materials. The production of particleboard generates significant potentials of Acidification,rnTerrestrial Eco Toxicity, and Eutrophication with magnitudes of 1.7 kg SO2-eq, 0.04 kg -1,4-rnDCB-eq, 0.3 kg PO4-eq, respectively. The emissions from the production of MDF cause HumanrnToxicity and Stratospheric Ozone Depletion with magnitudes of 213.1 kg-1,4-DCB-eq andrn3.7x10-6 kg CFC-11 eq, respectively. There is visible contribution from the harvesting stage tornFreshwater Aquatic Eco-toxicity and Global Warming with magnitudes of 10.2 kg-1,4-DCB eqrnand 45.2 kg CO2 eq. The kitchen cabinet production stage is also another important contributorrnto Photochemical Ozone Creation, Abiotic Depletion and Terrestrial Eco Toxicity withrnmagnitudes of 0.1 kg ethylene eq, 0.52 kg 1,4-DCB eq and 0.04 kg 1,4-DCB eq, respectively. Thernresults of this study clearly indicated that non renewable energy use and emissions fromrnformaldehyde use are the major issues to be prioritized for environmental optimization of thernkitchen cabinet manufacturing chain in the factory. Therefore, making energy conservation,rnusing biomass as source of energy and substituting toxic resin (UF) by less toxic resins canrnminimize the environmental burdens caused by the manufacturing of kitchen cabinet at 3F.rnKeywords: Life cycle inventory, kitchen cabinet, medium density fiberboard, particle board,rnimpact assessment, urea formaldehyde
