About
start2see are the experts in life cycle assessment (LCA) for the building and construction sector in Australia. start2see’s founding director, Rob Rouwette, has been doing LCAs and Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) since 1999. In these 20 years he has performed LCAs on a wide, wide range of building materials, products and structures. Our understanding of the life cycle impacts, underlying data and models is second to none. You probably have seen our work in the form of the IS Materials Calculators v1.2 and v2.0. Rob is also the architect behind Transport for NSW’s CERT tool.
We would love to apply and share our knowledge of LCA and EPDs to your materials, products and infrastructure projects. Our LCA expertise can be of assistance to help you achieve more points in the ISv1.2 Materials credits (Mat-1 and Mat-2) or ISv2.0 Resources credits (Rso-6 and Rso-7). If you are a material/product manufacturer or representative, then contact us to see how your products can be included in the IS Materials Calculator and start2see the benefits life cycle thinking brings.
Our clients are based all over Australia and beyond. Hit us up for a coffee when you’re in Melbourne.
Sustainability Outcomes
start2see developed the IS Materials Calculators v1.2 and v2.0. The tools we developed are thus being used on nearly all major infrastructure projects in Australia and New Zealand.
A lot of our work occurs in the background, where we work with materials manufacturers to help them understand and improve on the environmental performance of their products through LCA. Rob started creating Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) in 1999 in The Netherlands under the world’s first EPD Program for the building and construction sector (MRPI). In Australia and New Zealand, start2see has been directly involved in the development or verification of almost 20 published EPDs (as of late 2018), with more in the pipeline.
We can help your infrastructure project to achieve Mat-1/Mat-2 in ISv1.2 and Rso-6/RSo-7 in ISv2.0. We can also assist with innovative life cycle solutions that can contribute towards the innovation credits.
