Position Details :

Are you passionate about sustainability and making a real impact on the environment? At Visy, we believe that understanding and minimizing the environmental footprint of our products and processes is key to building a sustainable future. That’s why Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) are at the heart of our operations.

LCA is a powerful tool that evaluates the environmental impact of a product or service at every stage of its life—from raw material extraction to disposal. For Visy, this means not just creating innovative packaging solutions but ensuring they align with our commitment to the circular economy, reducing waste, conserving resources, and lowering emissions. By identifying environmental hotspots and driving targeted improvements, LCAs help us design smarter, more sustainable products while enhancing our brand reputation and meeting regulatory requirements.

Join us in shaping a better world through data-driven sustainability. If you’re ready to lead the charge in advancing environmental innovation, we’d love to hear from you!
