This study aims to measure the environmental costs (eco-cost) and the level of eco-efficiency of the production of the dining table in the Jepara furniture industry and formulates recommendations to improve eco-efficiency. The measurement of eco-efficiency was performed using life cycle assessment (LCA) with the eco-cost method. The furniture manufacturer produces a waste of 30 % and the product reject 15 %. The result of the data processing shows that the eco-costs of IDR 134,000 per unit product and net value IDR 208,000. The eco-efficiency index or EEI is 1.55 which means that the products categorized as affordable and sustainable. The eco-efficiency level is 35% means that the environmental performance is low and the furniture production needs improvements in the production process. Strategy to improve the eco-efficiency of production is increasing the utilization of wood waste and increasing the capability of technicians and operators to reduce the product defect.
