The UK Government’s tax on landfill increases year on year – 2023 will be no different, in fact due to inflation hitting a 40-year high, we’ll see a huge jump. Next April, landfill tax will increase in line with the Retail Price Index, which could see an increase of as much as £10 per tonne. Putting landfill tax in the hundreds for the first time.
With current landfill tax standing at £98.60 per tonne, then taking site gate fees and transport into consideration – we can all agree that landfill is an extremely unattractive prospect for those in the waste management industry.
Of course, the objective of landfill tax is to encourage a switch to more sustainable alternatives of waste disposal. That is where Andusia comes in!
Andusia collects RDF from waste management companies in the UK and deliver it for recovery at Energy from Waste (EfW) plants across Europe, producing electricity and heating for the local area. An alternative that not only offers environmental advantages, but also financial savings.
RDF waste must be baled and wrapped, so you’ll need to invest in baler and wrapping technology if you haven’t already. The initial outlay of buying such equipment might initially deter you but see just how quickly it pays for itself using our cost of ownership tool.
