Earlier this year, Visy completed an extension and upgrade of its pulp and recycled paper mill at Tumut, which is said to be heralded as one of the world’s most environmentally sustainable. Visy’s commitment to consulting with environmental and community groups and the Tumut mill’s sustainability features were highlighted in its award entry.

Tony Gray, director of public affairs at Visy says, “Tumut Mill is our flagship plant. It’s a leading example of the way Visy embraces the three pillars of sustainability – economic, environmental and community engagement,”
