Environmental consultant
Building sustainable communities through green buildings

Sally’s UCT career started in the year 2000 and in 2005 she graduated with a Masters degree from the Environmental and Geographical Sciences Department at UCT. Her focus and passion lies within waste management with particular interest in waste minimization practices and waste material recycling. Her Masters thesis was based on Life Cycle Assessment methodology with regards to household waste recycling using a pilot household waste separation project in a suburb in Cape Town. The thesis used LCA principles to understand the environmental aspects of recycling from collection to re-manufacturing and final disposal. The use of Cost Benefit Analysis principles allowed for the assessment of the financial implications of a waste separation scheme. She completed an IEMA accredited Environmental Auditor course in May 2006 and has been a lead and assistant auditor on a number of environmental compliance audits for waste disposal facilities since 2004. She really enjoys the principles of auditing and assisting facilities to strive for continual environmental improvement.

Having been an environmental consultant since the end of 2003 and Sally’s current assignments involve a myriad of projects including Cleaner Production Studies, Environmental Auditing, Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) processes, waste characterizations, development and implementation of Environmental Management Systems and the development of Integrated Waste Management Plans.
