Last December, the Swedish Government approved plans to introduce a 75Kr (£6) per tonne tax on waste imported from the UK, effective from 1st April 2020. This tax will rise by a further £3 in both 2021 and 2022.
The tax on waste that is burnt was passed by Riksdag (Swedish parliament) in order for Sweden to achieve national climate targets.
The UK Government’s tax on landfill increases year on year and 2020 is no different. Come April this year, the landfill tax will increase once more in line with the Retail Price Index. Come April 2020, landfill tax will increase from £91.35 to £94.15 per tonne.

Andusia’s Commercial Manager of nearly 7 years, Chris May, is due to lose his marathon ‘virginity’ in April.
Chris will be taking part in the London 2020 Marathon on Sunday 26th April. His ‘Chafing the Dream’ team are running for the Rooprai Spinal Trust.
Unless you have been hiding under a rock, after 47 years of membership, the UK left the European Union on 31st January 2020. We are now in a 1-year transition period whilst the Government secures a deal, including a new trade agreement to enter into force in January 2021.
This month, Andusia are proud to be celebrating their 8th birthday. Back in 2012 Director’s Steve Burton and Stewart Brackenbury saw an opportunity in the developing market of RDF export, so Andusia was born – and they haven’t looked back!
The company quickly established themselves as the UK’s largest independent exporter of RDF waste across Europe. With a strong supply base of professional UK waste management companies and long lasting relationships with some of the largest EfW plants in Europe, Andusia has now exported 1,350,000 tonnes of RDF waste. Waste that has not only been diverted from UK landfill but generates electricity and heat for local residents in Northern Europe and Scandinavia. (That equates to providing electricity to 169,000 homes a year in Andusia’s 8-year lifetime by the way!)
Eight years on, 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.
