About Visy:

Visy is powering the circular economy, closing the loop between packaging, remanufacturing and recycling.  Over 75 years, we've grown to 7,000 employees and 150 global operations – predominately in Australia and New Zealand.

We believe materials are not recycled until they’ve been made into new products. 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. From cardboard boxes, water bottles and jam jars to food and beverage cans, we are using recycled content to power Australia and New Zealand’s food and beverage packaging industry.

We at Visy Industrial Digital Technologies (IDT) are passionate about the business and strive to drive efficiency, reliability and simplification through the use of modern technology. Visy IDT was established to lead Visy through the emergence of the automated digital world.
