CBPM’s Progress on Sustainable Production and Environmental Protection

According to China Banknote Printing and Minting Corporation (CBPM), it has been working on sustainable development for some time and has developed a range of solutions to increase the use of clean energy and efficiency.

Its work has also addressed the challenges of reducing the adverse impact of cash manufacturing on the environment.

1. Energy Replacement and Efficient Utilisation

CBPM has increased its use of clean energy and focused on efficient energy use. To achieve the latter, it has implemented energy management and measurement systems on its equipment; the combination of good data and a focus on how the equipment is operated has led to a number of new measures.

The clean and renewable energy mix now includes natural gas, solar heating and electricity generated by solar power. The result is that CBPM has eliminated high-pollution and high-emission energy sources. Coal-free production was achieved in 2016.
