In the UK, Andusia Holdings Ltd (Andusia), the country's largest independent exporter of refuse-derived fuels (RDF) has announced that it has signed a supply contract for RDF with compatriot Suffolk-based VC Cooke Ltd, an Associated Waste Group company.
The 12-month agreement will see 15,000 tonnes of RDF exported via road from VC Cooke’s Beccles site to Germany and the Netherlands.
The baled waste will be supplied to various energy-from-waste (EfW) plant operators in the region and used as fuel for electricity and heat generation.
We are delighted to add VC Cooke to our growing network of RDF suppliers, they are an award-winning waste operator and pride themselves on offering an excellent level of service to customers. This win also helps consolidate Andusia’s position as the leading RDF exporter in the southeast of England, said Mark Terrell, Director of Andusia.
Family-run firm VC Cooke offers both domestic and commercial customers a range of recycling services covering the counties of Suffolk and Norfolk.
With an 18-acre site, the company claims to operate the largest waste management site in the East Anglia area.
This is our first venture into RDF export and we very much look forward to partnering with Andusia as we look to take a more sustainable approach to treating our residual waste, commented Ileana Radu, Managing Director of VC Cooke.
