Building sustainable communities through green buildings

After completing Chemical Engineering studies in Germany Susanne Dittke started her company EnviroSense CC (an Environmental Consultancy) in Cape Town in 1999.  Her company specialises in the planning, development and facilitation of tailor-made governmental, industrial/commercial and residential “Integrated Resource and Waste Management” programmes.  This includes the identification of resource consumption baselines following a triple bottom line evaluation of all relevant social, economic and natural system impacts for the formulation of individual solutions towards waste minimisation and pollution prevention.

An improved environmental performance, financial savings, job creation from waste opportunities  and better operational efficiency are achieved through lateral system based thinking and the continuous application of Cleaner Production, Zero Waste and Sustainable Consumption ideas and principles. 

Susanne has done Cleaner Production training and auditing in a range of industrial sectors including the Metal Finishing Industry, Electroplating and Galvanizing Industry, the Plastics Industry and more recently the Automotive Supply Industry as part of the NCPC/AIDC partnership Cleaner Production programme.
