Gives a method for conducting a Life Cycle Review (LCR), which is a less detailed and more qualitative alternative to a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). Mainly intended for small and medium-sized businesses and is used to review the various stages of the life cycle of a product package, process, or activity, in order to evaluate environmental burdens and give a basis for reducing these burdens.
