Andusia Expand Into New Office Premises

June 21, 2021June 17, 2021

We are moving! It has been a busy few months behind the scenes, and Andusia are now happy to announce that due to business growth, we have moved to new offices.

Andusia launched in 2012, and the company quickly established themselves as the UK’s largest independent exporter of RDF waste across Europe. Over this time, the company operated out of offices located in Hertford town centre (Hertfordshire).

Since launch, Andusia have extended their expertise and expanded into other areas of the waste industry – both in Europe and closer to home here in the UK. Due to such expansion, the business had outgrown the old premises and looking to the future, the decision was made to remain in Hertford but move to larger facilities. In fact, the newly refurbished offices are almost 3 times the size of the old!

Disposal of Infectious Covid-19 Waste

February 24, 2021

It is no surprise that with a global pandemic, comes an increase in infectious clinical waste, whether it be from Covid-19 testing facilities or increased hospital admissions. The management and treatment of such waste has become a challenge for the healthcare industry.
