Secure & Sustainable: High precision security features based on recycling materials

At the 2nd Global Currency Forum in Oman, Hueck Folien presents a banknote concept which includes recycled components. The company is committed to advancing sustainable banknote

technology by integrating high-security features with eco-friendly processes.

The recycling concept, inspired by the hidden depths of the ocean, utilizes recycled aluminum, paper and PET, enabling central banks to meet the highest security standards while embracing environmental responsibility.

Its vibrant colors, featuring 6 ColorSwitch™ shades and high-precision thin-film technology, are unmatched. Made from recycled PET and recycled aluminum, Optomove® achieves 53% CO2 savings through the raw material used.

+ The Reef foil design, featuring optical nanostructures and Trilumic®, is crafted from recycled PET and recycled aluminum. New holographic features, created with cutting-edge origination technology, enhance the design, while improved UV printing for Trilumic® delivers vibrant, intensified colors. Reef foil achieves 26% CO2 savings through the raw material used.

+ EcoBreath® paper is an innovative solution developed by BP Security in partnership with Casa da Moeda do Brasil, which allows the recovery and reuse of fibers from banknote waste to produce recycled security papers for banknotes and passports.
