A systematic life cycle assessment (LCA) of complex wooden products, in particular industrially produced furniture, is performed. For this purpose it is necessary to develop a method which allows a systematic assignment of onsite collected material and energy data to defined average products. Based on this method, LCA results for the manufacturing phase of the average furniture products are determined and discussed. Following the assessment of potential environmental impacts regarding the furniture manufacturing phase, a methodical and conceptual analysis for integrating the use and disposal phases of furniture is carried out.
