About Visy

Visy is powering the circular economy, closing the loop between packaging, recycling and remanufacturing. We believe materials are not truly recycled until they’re made into something new - and it all starts with Visy Recycling. As Australia’s largest recycler, our extensive network of recycling operations is integrated with our manufacturing sites. 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. We are also the network operator of the CDS Vic North Zone, providing accessible and convenient refund points for Victorians to claim their 10-cent reward for every eligible container returned.

You will be required to meet Visy’s employment criteria which will include a criminal history check and pre-employment medical.

This role is only open to candidates currently residing in Australia with full working rights.
