LCA reveals furniture production's hidden environmental toll, challenging conventional EIA methods.
The article talks about the use of a method called Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to check how new industrial projects might affect the environment early on. They analyzed a plan for making furniture and found that the materials used in making particleboard and fibreboard, not waste or emissions, would harm the environment the most. The study used software and a specific method for this analysis. It showed that protecting resources and ecosystems could be affected the most by the furniture plant. This research shows that using LCA can help understand and reduce the environmental impact of new industrial projects, like making furniture.
