摘要:This research aims to assess and measure the environmental impacts of high pressurecooked smoked milkfi sh (HPCSM) production. Although the literature about measuring the environmental impact is abundant, research about this topic implemented in a HPCSM production remains limited. The assessment was performed using the life cycle assessment (LCA), which is considered as a holistic assessment since it regards the entire life cycle of products from cradle to grave. To make a contribution, the LCA was supplemented with the eco-effi ciency index to assess the aff ordability and sustainability status of the business. To exhibit the methods, a case study has been carried out in Semarang, Indonesia, where the centre of HPCSM production is located. Forty enterprises (thirty-one small-, eight medium-, and one large-scale) were assessed. Results showed that the production process has several environmental impacts, such as climate change, photochemical oxidant formation, acidifi cation, fi ne dust, eutrophication, ecotoxicity (fresh water), human toxicity, metals depletion, waste, and water stress indicator. In addition, the analysis of eco-effi ciency index revealed that all type of products is considered as aff ordable but not sustainable. The recommendations for the improvement to minimize the environmental impacts and the sustainability status of the enterprises are also provided.
