Media Inquiry to VISY from Four Corners, ABC TV.

Responses received Thursday 3 August.

In Victoria, Visy annually receives approximately 60,000-70,000 tonnes

of glass through the kerbside recycling system, along with other recyclables
which are reused by Visy in its manufacturing operations. Following sorting at
Visys Victorian facilities, this glass Visy receives is primarily processed into
cullet for sale to the glass bottle manufacturing industry or blended for use in
a range of infrastructure projects. There can be residual glass materials that
are currently not wanted or usable by the glass manufacturing or
infrastructure industries and are therefore uneconomical to process.

Visy has an amount of material extracted from the glass sortation

process at its Laverton site which equates to approximately 300,000
tonnes. This volume of material is reducing through arrangements Visy has
for the offtake of some of this material and Visy continues to investigate other
opportunities and markets for this material. Visy has no wish to landfill this
material and is hopeful that over time viable uses can be found for it.

Visy encourages governments and industry to support the growth of

sustainable domestic markets for all recyclable glass materials.
