Life cycle assessment was carried out for a conventional wooden furniture set produced in Mardan division of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan during 2018-19. Primary data regarding inputs and outputs were collected through questionnaire surveys from 100 conventional wooden furniture set manufacturers, 50 in district Mardan and 50 in district Swabi. In the present study, cradle-to-gate life cycle assessment approach was applied for a functional unit of one conventional wooden furniture set. Production weighted average data were modelled in the environmental impacts modelling software i.e., SimaPro v.8.5. The results showed that textile used in sofa set, wood preservative for polishing and preventing insects attack and petrol used in generator had the highest contribution to all the environmental impact categories evaluated. Total cumulative energy demand for wooden furniture set manufactured was 30,005 MJ with most of the energy acquired from non-renewable fossil fuel resources.
对巴基斯坦开伯尔-普赫图赫瓦省马尔丹分部在 2018-19 年期间生产的一套传统木制家具进行了生命周期评估。通过从马尔丹区的 100 家传统木制家具制造商和斯瓦比区的 50 家制造商那里收集的问卷调查，收集了有关投入和产出的主要数据。在本研究中，采用摇篮到大门的生命周期评估方法对一个传统木制家具的功能单元进行评估。在环境影响建模软件 SimaPro v.8.5 中对生产加权平均值数据进行建模。结果表明，沙发套中使用的纺织品、用于抛光和防虫的木材防腐剂以及发电机中使用的汽油对评估的所有环境影响类别都有最大的贡献。木制家具的总累计能源需求为 30005 兆焦耳，其中大部分能源来自不可再生的化石燃料资源。
