Packaging and recycling company Visy is installing solar panels at select sites across Australia to reduce its environmental impact and energy footprint.<\/p>\n

Visy partnered with two solar energy companies on the initiative, which aligns with Visy\u2019s ongoing commitment to sustainability.<\/p>\n

The initiative aims to reduce energy consumption at six sites in the state of Victoria by 7% and at the Yatala beverage can site in Queensland by 23%.<\/p>\n

In Victoria, Visy is dealing with Energy Aware to install a combined 2,400KW of solar panels across the six sites.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in Queensland, Visy is working with 1K5\u00b0 Commercial to set up a 2,100KW system at the aforementioned factory. This installation marks Visy\u2019s largest solar system to date and is expected to be completed by next month. <\/p>\n

Visy Energy general manager Ryan Santowski said: \u201cWhile many of our products have up to 100% recycled content \u2013 made from household and business recycling \u2013 we\u2019re always looking for ways to further reduce our environmental impact and energy footprint.\u202f\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n
