The 11th International Conference on EcoBalance
27–30 October 2014, Tsukuba, Japan5

Preface
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
Welcome to Tsukuba, the birthplace of EcoBalance!
In the name of the Organizing Committee , I would like to welcome each of you to
EcoBalance 2014 in Tsukuba, Japan, from 27 to 30 October 2014.
The theme of EcoBalance 2014 is “Creating Benefit through Life Cycle Thinking.” Wewould like to invite a wide range of participants to share their quests for benefits from lifecycle thinking, and are thus organizing special sessions that focus on sustainability andpractical challenges in industry. In recognition of the fact that the benefits sought are
diverse, contributions from other sectors are also welcome to identify advantages beyond
mere financial considerations in the increasingly globalized supply chain under quickly
changing circumstances. In line with previous EcoBalance conferences, therefore, we are
keeping our broad scope, including socio-economic metabolism, industrial symbiosis ,sustainable resource management, life-cycle management, socio-economic approaches tosustainability, and life-cycle assessment.
Held biennially since 1994 , EcoBalance is one of the oldest and most establishedinternational conferences on the methodologies and practices of sustainability, based onlife-cycle thinking. In commemoration of this twenty-year history of the EcoBalance
conferences, we are organizing, in addition to our regular keynote lectures and sessions, a
special panel discussion on the prospect of further promoting life-cycle thinking in the next
twenty years.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the people of Tsukuba for joining us andsupporting this conference. In the Tsukuba special session, we will introduce pioneering
policies and activities that are taking place in Tsukuba, and discuss how these should
proceed.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all of the participants in EcoBalance 2014.
We hope and believe that the conference will be a fruitful opportunity for you to present
your research results, network with a wide range of participants, and accomplish our aim of“Creating Benefit through Life Cycle Thinking.”
We look forward to seeing you during your time here.

Sincerely,
Yasushi Kondo
Chair of EcoBalance 2014�������������������������������������������������
