Australia’s most advanced paper and cardboard recycling facility comes online

Visy recently unveiled a major $42.5 million upgrade to its paper recycling and remanufacturing campus in Coolaroo with Premier Daniel Andrews and Federal Minister for the Environment and Water, Tanya Plibersek.

Arctic Paper expects lower Q2 result

Arctic Paper S.A. expects an EBITDA result for the Q2 2023 in the range of PLN 60-70 million ($14.7- 17.2 million), which is lower than current market estimates.
