Recycle Activities

Increasing Industry Recycling

The majority of fibre used in the pulp and paper industry now comes from recycled paper. Between 1995 and 2000, we increased the amount of recycled paper used in our products by 10%, and increased the amount of waste paper being collected by 24%.

Visy Recycling collection truckAt the moment, recycled paper makes up:

  • 61.5 % of all the fibre used in paper production.
  • 100 % of the content of packaging and industrial paper.
  • 26% of the fibre used in newsprint.
  • 12 % of the content of tissues.
  • 10% of the content of printing and writing papers, on average.

Out of the 18 paper mills in Australia owned by APIC members, 14 mills use waste paper in some or all of their products.
