Visy Paper
Australia and New Zealand's leading 100% recycled and kraft paper manufacturer
Each year, we make approximately 1.5 million tonnes of paper, including:
- 813,000 tonnes of recycled paper
- over 680,000 tonnes of kraft paper.
We have eight paper machines across Australia, which make recycled corrugated and kraft paper for the packaging and building industries. Our products have a range of environmental certifications, including Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC) and Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC).
Recycled paper
We make 813,000 tonnes of recycled paper each year from paper and cardboard collected from households and businesses. Our network of recycling facilities has the capacity to recycle all of the paper and cardboard in Australia—keeping it out of landfill or from being exported. Our six Australian recycled paper operations are Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Chain-of-Custody certified. Paper produced by these mills can feature the widely recognised FSC Recycled logo, attesting to the environmental integrity of our paper.
Kraft paper
We make over 680,000 tonnes of sustainable, high quality kraft paper each year at our mill in Tumut, New South Wales. The mill is the world’s most environmentally friendly facility producing high performance 90 to 440gsm liners. Our kraft paper grades are Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification Certified under a chain of custody system that tracks forest materials from plantations to paper production. The virgin fibre sourced for our Forest Stewardship Council eligible kraft paper is from sustainably managed softwood plantations.
We are committed to minimising the impact of our paper mill operations on the environment and community. View our environmental monitoring data and management plans.
Paper coatings
Using 100% recycled paper and sustainable kraft liner, we produce high-quality, coated sheets for use in a wide range of applications:
- light-weight laminating
- paperback book covers
- plasterboard liners
- corrugated and folding cardboard boxes
- wax boxes.
Available in various coating options and weights, ranging from 130gsm to 400gsm, we can also ensure water and grease resistance, and anti-scruff properties. With its bright, smooth surface, our unique coated paper helps achieve exceptional print results from flexographic and offset lithographic printing.
Plasterboard liner
We are a leading manufacturer of plasterboard liner, supplying over 90,000 tonnes for customers in Australia, New Zealand, Asia, Europe, Africa and the USA.
Our plasterboard liner—tailored for specialty ceiling and wall applications—is made from our own recycled paper. Our advanced de-inking facility removes ink and impurities from recycled paper stock, leaving a ivory or buff finish as well as white liner grades.
Our liners range from 150gsm to 220gsm and are proudly made in Australia.
