Identifikasi Pencemaran Lingkungan Proses Produksi Pabrik Tahu Dengan Life Cycle Assessment

Abstract

Because of the tofu production process, the tofu industry has standards in order to reduce the impact on the environment. By studying a proper and environmentally friendly Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) with Simapro software, this study aims to identify potential environmental consequences, analyze the causes that cause environmental impacts, and make recommendations for environmental impact management as a backup plan. LCA is a method for determining which stages of a product's life cycle have the greatest environmental impact and for identifying and analyzing those impacts across all phases. The three main effects of the Eco-Indicator 99(H) approach are inorganic respiration, climate change, and carcinogens. The use of coagulants, firewood, and electricity are contributing factors to this effect. Other changes that can be made to reduce the consequences include increasing the effectiveness of the device and substituting the acetic acid coagulant for nigarin and ongoing milk residue from the settling process.
