Visy is powering the circular economy, closing the loop between packaging, recycling, and remanufacturing. We believe materials are not truly recycled until they're made into something new—and it all starts with Visy Recycling. As Australia's largest recycler, our extensive network of recycling operations is integrated with our manufacturing sites. We collect and sort recyclable materials like paper, cardboard, glass, plastics, and metals from households and businesses, and locally remanufacture them back into new, sustainable packaging.
