Assessing the carbon footprint of a product: A case study of the wooden chair production process

Abstract

     This study aims to evaluate the carbon footprint and greenhouse gas emissions of the wooden chair production process using quantitative research principles. The evaluation of the carbon footprint of producing one wooden chair will be conducted using the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) method, following the Business to Business (B2B) model

     The study's results reveal that the production process of wooden chairs yields greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to 2.255 kilograms of carbon dioxide per product unit. This value comprises 1.316 kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalent per product unit from the raw material acquisition process and 0.939 kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalent per product unit from the production process's greenhouse gas emissions.
