We created SAFEGUARD® because our customers told us they wanted more durable banknotes. The introduction of SAFEGUARD® provided central banks with a real choice and helped to drive competition and innovation whilst also providing an option for business continuity planning. Polymer is a superior technical choice for banknote substrate, it lasts longer, remains cleaner, is more sustainable and is inherently secure when compared to other substrate types. Since 2013 we have designed and printed over 115 denominations. Today, we share our experience, knowledge and expertise when supporting our customers as they convert to polymer.

Banknotes have been reimagined to produce dramatically less waste in the cash cycle of a country. Polymer banknotes last significantly longer and need replacing less often. So central banks require fewer banknotes over time. Fewer raw materials are consumed, and the transport required to replace used notes is also reduced. The banknotes are used hundreds or thousands of times during the lifetime of the banknote and can last for years, making them the exact opposite of single use plastic. It is possible in theory to recycle or compost all banknote substrates with the right equipment and conditions. Cash cycles are perfectly designed to maximise responsible end-of-life disposal - people do not throw away banknotes so they ultimately return to the central bank at the end of their useful life. However, considerably more central banks recycle polymer banknotes, in part because the infrastructure for polymer recycling is more ubiquitous. Recycled polymer banknotes ultimately become glasses, flowerpots, building materials, pallets and other necessary materials that would have otherwise required virgin plastic.
