How is START progressing

sustainability?

Better material choices are essential to affect sustainability progress. By showing how materials are made, START empowers people to make more sustainable choices.

Clearly see your materials' entire journey

Visibility is a major issue for modern supply chains. Without transparent and traceable data, it’s nearly impossible to understand the impact materials have on people, the planet and progress overall.

START closes visibility gaps. By tracking the entire journey of materials – the basic building blocks of products – we are reducing uncertainty in supply chains and enabling more sustainable material choices. And we’re doing so in transparent way that everyone can trust.

START making better material choices

Think about a nutrition label on the back of all food products today. The label allows us to make more informed decisions about the food products we buy— from calories and vitamins to production certifications and standards. START does the same for critical materials such as aluminium and copper, empowering you to make the choice for a more sustainable supply chain.
