One of the greatest contributors of environmental damage in the world are
manufacturers. Therefore, an assessment of environmental impacts caused by
manufacturers is necessary, and included in ISO 14001: 2015. One of the
requirements in ISO 14001: 2015 is Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). PT. X, a large
printing company in Jawa Tengah located in a high population district area with a
population density of 1,698 people/km
2
(BPS, 2018) in 2015, is concerned about
the environmental health surrounds the company, especially for the human health
aspect for the employees. In order to maintain the human health aspect in PT. X,
an LCA on production process in PT. X is necessary to be conducted to identify
which process harm the human health aspect. The LCA in this research
conducted according to ISO 14040 LCA steps, including: goal and scope
definition; inventory analysis; impact assessment; and interpretation. The goal
and scope step in this research decided for the production process in PT. X, with
time span of six months in 2019. The inventory analysis step in this research
discovered the additional vapor emission outputs of Aminoethylethanolamine in
plate printing process, Hexane in printing process, and Isopropanol in varnishing
process. The impact assessment step in this research conducted using openLCA
software, with GaBi 2018 database and ReCiPe Midpoint method. The
interpretation step in this research concluded that the processes with significant
environmental impacts regarding human health for production process in PT. X
are printing process and varnishing process. To reduce the emission caused from
those processes, this research suggested to add dilution ventilation in those
processes. This research also suggests PT. X to substitutes the using of:
Aminoethylethanolamine compound into turpentine oil; Isopropanol compound
into hydrogen peroxide; and silicone liquid into phosphate esters.
