The International Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Conference took place in Boston from Sept. 29 to Oct. 2, 2009. You can find more information about the presentations on this link: http://lcacenter.org/LCA9/program.html
During the "Design" session, some interesting ideas were presented on how to integrate LCA into the design process: http://lcacenter.org/LCA9/sessions/Design.html
Some highlights:
1) A tool called "i-report", that enables any non-LCA practioner (e.g. designers) to easily integrate LCA into their design/decision making process

2) A methodology that enables designers to find trade-offs between the functionalities of a single-use product component, and its environmental impacts, in order to improve the design
