Number 1  >>  Tis the season to be jolly!

Andusia’s staff Christmas party post was a popular choice and little wonder, as our parties are the best – just look at all those happy faces! We celebrated in style as a big thank you to our amazing team who helped handled a record volume of RDF this year totalling over 300,000 tonnes, hitting an incredible milestone in the process – the export of 2 million tonnes of RDF since our launch in 2012.

Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) was flying high this week as a topic of debate at the Energy From Waste Conference in London, organised by SAE Media Group, where our director Mark Terrell was speaking. While there is growing interest in using waste as a feedstock for SAF, at Andusia we would question if that’s the most sustainable option.Read More »SAF – Is this Sustainable?

Andusia has signed a contract with a new partner, TJ Waste & Recycling Limited, as it continues to expand its operations into the south east of England.

The agreement will see up to 10,000 tonnes of loose RDF exported from TJ’s Southampton site to EfW facilities in Germany over a 12-month period. The waste will be recovered and used to provide electricity and heating to local communities and businesses.

Next year a new CO2 tax on energy recovery is set to be introduced in Germany. The levy, which will be imposed on emissions from incinerators, will eventually be rolled out across Europe, but in the short-term we expect waste flow dynamics to change as the market responds to this new development.

Early indications suggest the tax will be priced at €18.98 per tonne for refuse-derived fuel (RDF) type feedstocks. While the full CO2 tax will be €40 per tonne overall, it will vary depending on certain factors such as calorific value and the amount of biogenic content in the waste.

Andusia welcomes the recent announcement by Defra on reforms to the waste carriers, brokers and dealers (CBD) registration system in England, and we look forward to seeing the proposals taken forward.

We believe the reforms, which seek to tighten existing regulation to help combat illegal activities such as fly-tipping, are much-needed as the current system makes it hard for regulators like the Environment Agency to target high risk waste operators properly.

At Andusia, we are delighted to report that we are on track for our busiest and biggest export year ever! By the end of 2023, we will have exported more than 300,000 tonnes of RDF to customers in Sweden, Denmark, Germany, France and Holland as we continue to broaden and strengthen our reach into European markets.

Since the lifting of lockdown restrictions, Andusia has experienced accelerated growth. In 2022, we exported 210,000 tonnes of RDF and are set to increase that tonnage by more than 50% 12 months on. We have also seen a 25% uplift in the last quarter this year, and this is set to increase further into 2024.
