Sustainability & Destruction Technology Report – Fit for Recycling
Hunkeler Systeme and Banknote Industry News have joined forces, to draw up a new guideline of a proper and optimized destruction process for different banknote substrates, to meet the criteria “FIT FOR RECYCLING”. Leading Central Banks have provided insights how shredded banknotes can be inserted into a proper recycling approach.
Sustainability is becoming key for our world of today and many industries have already set benchmarks in their fields.
- The banknote industry is committed to sustainability. When it comes to the end of a banknote’s lifecycle, sustainability has been partially neglected.
- Two thirds of all Central Banks do not have a proper destruction-recycling process of banknotes in place. NOW for the first time the ‘Destruction+Recycling’ process is being x-rayed.

Substrate and Separation
Different banknote substrates require different destruction treatments.
The Wheel of Destruction
Different steps from sorting, separation, shredding, filtration, briquetting, handling are driving the fit for recycling approach.
Best Practice Initiatives
Learnings from global Central Bank recycling initiatives.
Green Line Concept
Energy savings through a modern intrinsic Greenline Concept.
Decentral Destruction
Smaller shredding volumes require an adapted decentral destruction process.
Control Manager
Real time monitoring of the complete destruction proscess.
Clean Air in Production
Viruses and dust particles are problems in industrial buildings and need to be filtred.
