DAMPAK PEMANASAN GLOBALPENGOLAHAN HASIL PERIKANAN MENGGUNAKAN METODELIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT (LCA): ANALISIS GATE-TO-GATE

Abstract

Life cycle assessment (LCA) is widely applied method ofquantifying the environmental impact on products and processes. One of the most application is LCA in fishery industry. This research was conducted in fishery processing industry in Cirebon Jawa Barat.
