BoC to unveil polymer $100 bill this spring | Money | Toronto Sun

BoC to unveil polymer $100 bill this spring | Money | Toronto Sun

Brazil, Chille, Australia, Vietnam and others already use polymer bills with varying degrees of success.

The polymer bills are cheaper to make and offer better security against counterfeiting but are made of Biaxially-Oriented Polypropylene [BOPP].

Polypropylene is a plastic so I am uncertain as to how it is more environmentally friendly when compared to the cotton based bills currently in circulation.
