The Importance of LCA in the Production of Turmeric Powder And Chilli Powder at PT X
Department of Agro-Industrial Technology, Faculty of Agricultural Technology, Universitas Gadjah Mada, Indonesia 55281
PT X is one of the businesses in Indonesia that deals with food, particularly spices. The seasoning sector is growing because its existence is becoming more and more expected. Of course, energy and emissions will not be separated from the process of generating spices, especially when producing powdered spices. According to government policy, the sector is supposed to develop into one that is sustainable and environmentally friendly. The Life Cycle Assessment is a common environmental impact assessment (LCA). A method called life cycle analysis (LCA) is used to evaluate a product system’s sustainability advantages over the course of its life. This study’s goal is to use the LCA approach to examine how much energy and material are consumed, as well as emissions and potential environmental effects, during the production of seasoning powder at PT X. Establishing the goals and scope, inventory analysis, environmental impact analysis, and interpretation are the four processes utilized in the LCA. The study’s findings show that 7,963 MJ are needed to manufacture 1 kilogram of turmeric powder, with a potential environmental impact of GWP 0.7627 kg CO2 –eq, AP 0.7796 x 10-4 kg SO2 –eq, and EP 0.528 x 10-4 kg N-eq. Chili powder, on the other hand, uses 8,506 MJ and have an environmental impact of GWP 0.8418 kg CO2 –eq, 0.8690 x 10-4 kg SO2 –eq, and 0.664 x 10-4 kg N –eq.
Key words: Emission / Energy / Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
