Indonesia faces environmental challenges due to the increasing exploitation of natural resources and industrial emissions. This study aims to design an environmental impact mitigation strategy in the furniture industry using the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) method, with a case study of UD Putra Bali. The analysis includes the Life Cycle Inventory (LCI), Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA), and Life Cycle Interpretation to identify the greatest impacts and develop recommendations for improvement. The results of the study indicate that the life cycle of wooden door products produces an environmental impact of 13.1 kPt. The stage with the greatest impact is the finishing process, especially in the human toxicity water category of 11.3 kPt, due to thinner-based paint. In addition, the delivery of finished products contributes to the global warming category of 0.0539 kPt, which is caused by the use of vehicles with high emission specifications and inefficient delivery routes. Recommendations for improvement include the implementation of cleaner production, namely replacing thinner-based paint with more environmentally friendly water-based paint and optimizing delivery routes using the saving matrix nearest insert method to reduce the total distance traveled and transportation emissions. After the implementation of the mitigation strategy, the environmental impact of the finishing process decreased to 10.3 kPt, while the impact of the finished product delivery decreased to 0.0526 kPt. This study shows that the application of LCA can identify the main sources of environmental impacts and generate data-based improvement strategies. The implementation of this strategy is expected to enhance the sustainability of the furniture industry and reduce the production process's environmental footprint.
