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.
The upgrade is part of Visy Executive Chairman Anthony Pratt’s commitment to invest $2 billion over the next decade to reduce landfill, cut emissions and create thousands of green collar Australian manufacturing jobs.
“This is a very important day for our company because we’re not only manufacturers,” said Pratt.
“We’re actually in the landfill avoidance business which is good for greenhouse gas reduction as well because as things decay in landfill they produce methane gas which is 84 times worse for climate change than carbon dioxide.
