The narrative surrounding natural rubber is broken and has created a negative perception of it.
The dominant story has been of chainsaws and cleared forests. While the link between irresponsible expansion and deforestation is undeniable, this singular focus drowns out crucial nuances and obscures a vital truth.
Sustainably produced natural rubber is not the villain. It is an indispensable ally in the global quest for sustainability. It’s time for producing nations to unite and reclaim this narrative, especially on platforms like the 30th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30) from Nov 10-21, in Belem, Brazil, the original home of this wonder material.
