8 LCA (1) 2003

 
 The title page addresses the 5th International Conference on Ecobalances (5th-ICEB), 6–8 November, 2002, Tsukuba, Japan. It was the fifth in a series of Ecobalance Conferences which began in 1994 and continued biannually. This conference series provides a platform for the international exchange of new methodological and practical approaches in Life Cycle Assessment and Life Cycle Management. The state-of-the-art report (p. 1–5) presents an overview on the discussions and findings of the complete conference. The LCM-related excerpt (p. 55–58) covers two of the six parallel sessions which are specifically relevant for LCM.
