12 LCA Special (1) 2007

 LCM 2007 Zurich - From Analysis to Implementation (3rd Int. Conf. on LCM, Zurich, 27-29 August 2007)
 Cover story: On the occasion of LCM2007 (Zurich, August 27-29), Int J LCA presents this Special Issue. The reason is the close relationship between the journal and the development of Life Cycle Management. --- In January 2003 (Vol. 8, No. 1), Int J LCA established the section LCM, edited by Gerald Rebitzer and Matthias Finkbeiner, Yasunari Matsuno, Wulf-Peter Schmidt, Thomas E. Swarr. Publications covering LCM date back to 1996, the year of the journal's inception. Int J LCA reported on all essential events in the life cycle of LCM so far. --- The Editorial (p. 1) and the papers in the Prologue (pp. 2–3 and 4) reflect the progression in LCM along the conference series LCM and InLCA/LCM. The Epilogue (pp. 5–6) senses a vision of the future. --- Cover design: Edwin Grondinger, abavo GmbH, Nebelhornstraße 8, 86807 Buchloe, Germany (edwin.grondinger@abavo.de; http://www.abavo.de)
