Visy Industry has revealed plans to expand its Australian cardboard packaging and paper recycling operations at a cost of $A2bn over the next decade. Executive chairman Anthony Pratt will seek financial support from superannuation funds to finance the massive expansion, which he forecasts will generate some 5,000 jobs. Visy will increase its investment in clean energy plants, with the aim of eventually generating about 50 per cent of its electricity it uses. Visy’s US arm Pratt Industries announced a $US2bn investment in its business earlier in 2017.
