Welcome to SAICE SEED

SAICE SEED envisions a world where engineering and human activities harmoniously coexist with the social and natural environment.

By sharing knowledge and skills with civil society, professionals, and students in the engineering and built environment, SEED aims to foster sustainable practices. Through strategic partnerships with industry, SEED ensures the continuous flow of relevant, up-to-date information and provides informed recommendations to policymakers, fostering a sustainable future for all.

About SAICE SEED

Environmental engineering combines science and engineering to protect human health, preserve natural ecosystems, and improve overall quality of life.

Environmental engineers protect human health and the natural environment by developing practical solutions for managing wastewater, reducing air and water pollution, promoting recycling, and handling waste safely. They design systems for clean water supply
and effective wastewater treatment in both urban and rural settings.

“Sustainability is no longer about doing less harm. It’s about doing more good.”

— Jochen Zeitz, former CEO of Puma and sustainability advocate
