LCE 2008 - Register now for early bird fees!

The 15th Life Cycle Engineering Conference LCE 2008 continues a long tradition of scientific meetings under the aegis of the International Academy for Production Engineering CIRP. For many years extensive research in life cycle assessment, product development and sustainable manufacturing has produced a vast pool of knowledge, the application of which is still hampered by reluctant implementation of serious environmental strategies in practice.
