The decision to produce plastic 5 and 10 pound notes was made nearly 2 years ago in 2013. They will be in circulation next year. The 20 pound note going plastic is a natural progression.

20 GBP Note Goes Polymer, Competitors Embrace Blockchain Technology
The world of finance and banking has not seen much innovation over the past 50-60 years. Money has stayed the same over the decades albeit there might be a different King or Queen on banknotes and coins.
