Cash Sustainability Forum Takes Shape

Highlights of the second Cash Sustainability Forum (CSF), which takes place 24-26 June in Frankfurt, are now available.

The CSF is the only event that brings together all the stakeholder in the cash cycle, and beyond, to work towards sustainability in the production, circulation and destruction of one of the world’s most enduring and widely used products.

The Forum starts with a half workshop on Cash Cycle Recycling and Recirculation. It will be based on a new white paper that organisers Reconnaissance International (co- publishers of Currency News™) will be publishing at the conference, and will consider the key activities, principles and options open to a central bank to ensure cash recycling and recirculation delivers fit and genuine banknotes and coins for the public.

The workshop will hear from central banks (Philippines, ECB and South Africa), NatWest, Diebold Nixdorf, Brinks, CashInfraPro and Oberthur Cash Protection as they present and discuss how to reduce the impact of cash post-issue. The ECB’s Product Environment Footprint study found that 87% of the impact of cash occurred post issue, so this is an important topic. The workshop is open to all delegates. There will be two discussion panels and the chance to compare notes with colleagues.
