THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF TALK OF THE WORLD GOING CASHLESS
Developed economies have certainly been using less cash over recent years. Some governments have even made moves to become truly cashless societies – but these have been marked by constant halts and reversals, as well as sparking campaigns from rights groups to protect access to and use of cash. Because digital payment solutions don't yet work for everyone.
There may be a point when cash is no longer used, but it’s clear that it is a long way off, if it comes at all.
In the meantime, we have to ask the same questions about cash that it is our duty to ask of all our systems today:
What is its impact on the environment?
And what can we do to improve it?
Using cash recycling technology available today, we have a chance not only to drastically reduce waste and improve the carbon footprint of cash, but also to empower local communities, as well growing our businesses.
