This study has been analyzed an execution example of the life cycle assessment on the packaged bean-curd of P company, the first case of the regular life cycle assessment on the processed foods in Korea and considered on the significance and directions of the life cycle assessment on the foods. It is possible to divide the potential environmental impact through the life cycle of the bean-curd into six categories and analyze the environmental impact on the production, use and disposal phases of the product. The values of each environmental impact have been quantified from the strength of the potential impact for the corresponding category of impact. In the future, it is expected that the result of the life cycle assessment will be increasingly used for many areas such as Climate Change Convention and ISO22000, etc. and it is required to promote a project to make database through the assessment on the individual corps or types of businesses for it from now on.
