Research Progress in Carbon Footprint Evaluation for Wood,Bamboo and Rattan Furniture
Carbon footprint evaluation is a practicable method to measure greenhouse gas emission,and the evaluation of furniture carbon footprint is conducive to promoting the green development of furniture industry.The paper reviews the research progress in furniture carbon footprint evaluation from the three aspects of life cycle evaluation method,carbon footprint evaluation standard and calculation of carbon stored in furniture,focusing on life cycle carbon footprint evaluation of furniture products covering raw material access,production,transportation,marketing,use and the end-of-life treatment.On this basis,the directions of the future research on potential applications of carbon footprint in furniture industry are put forward,i.e.,expanding the scope of furniture to be studied,unifying the standards of furniture carbon footprint evaluation,promoting the green transformation of the furniture industry,and improving the digitization and transparency of evaluation results,so as to provide ideas for improving the relevant system to facilitate the furniture industry's low-carbon and sustainable development.
