CCL Secure is thrilled to win the Energy Management Award together with Verco at the  23rd Energy Institute Awards ceremony held on 23rd Nov at the Sheraton Grand Park Lane Hotel in London.

CCL Secure’s Wigton site in the UK was recognised for its remarkable efforts in its sustainability journey, achieving a 26 per cent reduction in CO2 emissions, 31 per cent reduction in energy consumption and 40 per cent reduction in water usage per tonne of product, since 2018.

Craigieburn, just north of Melbourne, Australia is where Note Printing Australia (NPA) and CCL Secure – firm and historical campus for the production of polymer banknotes – are based. It also houses the Reserve Bank of Australia’s National Banknote Site, the central facility for the storage and processing of currency.

At CCL Secure, we believe in the importance of increasing the sustainability of our processes as well as our products, to ensure we leave a cleaner and greener planet for future generations.

Since 2018, CCL Secure has achieved a 26% reduction in carbon emissions per tonne of product at our Wigton site in England. With the support of sustainability consultants Verco, we have reduced our manufacturing emissions across all three greenhouse gas scopes, without the inclusion of carbon offsets and market based instruments.

Congratulations to The Central Bank of Egypt for launching the new £10 note  using CCL Secure’s GUARDIAN. The new banknotes will be printed in Egypt’s new printing house – the largest print works in Egypt – based in the country’s new administrative capital, east of Cairo.

Central banks have the opportunity to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, water usage and other environmental impacts through their currency strategy. How? The principles are simpler than you may think. Banknotes can be thought about in the same way that we tackle all products: reduce, reuse, recycle.

CCL Secure has closely collaborated with Note Printing Australia (NPA) working with the Banko Sentral ng Pilipina (BSP) on its new GUARDIAN™ polymer banknote. The new 1000-piso will be issued into circulation later this month.
