GUARDIAN™ ENVIRO – the Next Step in Sustainability for Central Banks

CCL Secure – the pioneer in polymer substrates for banknotes – has launched a more sustainable version of GUARDIAN™ substrate, which builds on decades of work to drive greener outcomes with polymer banknotes. According to the company, independent evidence shows polymer banknotes lower emissions, reduce the use of raw materials, and limit waste through recycling, with more than 85% of GUARDIAN banknotes being recycled right now.

The next step, it says, is GUARDIAN ENVIRO, which enables central banks to choose to use bio-renewable feedstocks as a substitute for fossil raw materials that have traditionally been used in polymer film.

GUARDIAN ENVIRO was launched at the recent Currency Conference in Bangkok. Currency News™ spoke to Tim Berridge, CCL Secure’s Director of R&D, Marketing and Design, and Neil Sanders, Vice President and Managing Director, to find out more.
