Visy began in 1948 in Shepparton, when founder Leon Pratt came up with an idea to replace heavy wooden crates that transported apples with lighter, sturdier cardboard boxes. That spirit of innovation still drives us today. Since then, we’ve grown into Australia’s largest processor of kerbside recycling and a global leader in sustainable packaging solutions – but proudly remain an Australian family-owned business.

Valoriza is reshaping resource recovery in Australia – we believe organics processing can and should deliver more.
More performance. More accountability. More lasting value for the communities we serve.
That belief drives everything we do. We combine disciplined operations with an absolute determination to raise the bar – building systems designed to perform and standing behind them when it counts.
By reshaping the circular economy in collaboration with customers and industry partners, we’re transforming community organics into regenerative soil solutions.
Together, we’re strengthening local communities, improving soil health and reducing emissions – creating measurable impact where it matters most.
