About

THE TIPPING POINT

What does it take to transition to polymer?

In 2016 an article by David Tidmarsh was published in Currency News titled ‘The Tipping Point’. The article posed the question: are we at ‘The Tipping Point’ for polymer?

CCL Secure and David Tidmarsh are now revisiting that question and talking to Central Banks who have already made the decision to change to CCL Secure’s GUARDIAN polymer.

In this session we will consider if global trends are pointing to an age when polymer finally becomes the dominant substrate for cash? What are the driving factors behind a decision to transition a currency? Which is most important: cost, environmental pressures, durability or a combination of different factors?

This is the first in a series of 3 free seminars and in this first one we’ll hear about both the hard data behind the Banks’ decisions and the lessons of their experience.
