ABC Tissue general manager Sunny Ngai says production at its three toilet paper manufacturing plants has increased by 15 per cent in the past two weeks. ABC Tissue is the largest maker of toilet paper in Australia, with brands that include Quilton. However, limits on purchases of toilet paper by retailers such as Coles and Woolworths has not stopped panic buying by consumers, while Woolworths is working with supplies to focus on producing smaller packs of toilet paper, as they are take up less space on pallets and in trucks.

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.
