UK ENVIRONMENT AGENCY GOES LIVE WITH NEW REGULATORY PORTAL TO MP-5...NO MORE REPORTING OF ENVIRONMENTAL DATA!
EHS Data have built a revolutionary new secure portal, which enables the sharing of environmental monitoring data by Viridor (one of the largest waste management companies in the UK) with the UK Environment Agency (EA).

It has been built in partnership with Viridor and the EA, and is now being scaled from three Viridor sites to 50.
