About This Webinar
The disposal of unfit shredded banknotes is one of the most visible environmental activities of a central bank issue department or a printing works.

A recent survey showed that 42% of central banks send their waste to landfill but that 40% of central banks surveyed wanted to explore different ways of disposal from how they do it today. This Forum event will have real life examples from the USA and Pakistan about how they dispose of their waste alongside a review of the Reconnaissance white paper, ‘What Goes Round, Comes Round’, which investigated the science of waste disposal, what central banks do today and where to start if you want to do something different. G+D will report on its work to create less waste and how to manage it.

Forums are more interactive events than other formats and the audience are asked to actively engage with the speakers.

This is the start of a series of Cash & Payments Sustainability Forum online events, the first three of which focus on end-of-life solutions for banknotes. The second will take place on 26 April exploring innovative new alternative approaches for cotton waste and the third will be on the disposal of polymer waste in May.
