The collaboration, explained Andusia, will see 10,000 tonnes of RDF exported from East Coast Waste’s Great Yarmouth base to an energy from waste facility in Germany, over a 12-month period. “The waste will be recovered and used to provide electricity and heating to the local area, whilst also avoiding UK landfill,” a statement from Andusia said.
East Coast Waste, which was founded founded by Paul Clements, offers what it describes as a total waste management service, with two purpose-built waste transfer stations in Great Yarmouth. In a statement, the company said that “having been in the industry for over 40 years, and employing three generations of the Clements’ family, they are one of the largest private businesses of their type in the Norfolk area”.
Andusia director, Mark Terrell, commented: “We are pleased to have signed East Coast Waste as a new RDF supply partner. It is always great to find a like-minded company that want to divert waste from UK landfill. We look forward to working with the ECW team going forward.”

Andusia was established in 2012 when the RDF export market was in its infancy. Since then, it has become one of the UK’s largest independent exporters collecting and delivering RDF from UK producers to EfW plants in Europe. 2018 saw Andusia collect its 1 millionth tonne of RDF waste for recovery. In 2022, Andusia reported its total export volume had hit 1.8million tonnes, which it equated to “almost 500,000 tonnes of CO2 savings in the last decade”.
The company is also now exporting solid recovered fuel (SRF) to cement plants throughout Europe.
