This guidebook -- published by National Office of Pollution Prevention and the Hazardous Waste Branch of Environment Canada -- is designed to help those in small and mid-size companies take a life-cycle approach in their business decision-making, though larger companies may find it useful as well. The guidebook gives an overview of the concept of life cycle management and offers a framework for applying it to five different job functions. Also included is a toolkit and step-by-step guidance for integrating LCM throughout all levels of an organization.
