Natural rubber sustainability challenging, but essential | Rubber News Home News November 04, 2020 09:06 AM NR sustainability challenging, but essential Erin Pustay Beaven Rubber & Plastics News Staff Just because sustainability is essential doesn't mean it's going to be easy. Indonesia is the second-biggest producer of natural rubber globally. To ensure fair and sustainable access to natural rubber, To diversify natural rubber supply in geographical terms to reduce dependency from South East Asia To diversify natural rubber supply in sourcing terms expanding research into alternative sources, such as the taraxacum and guayule. The tire industry uses approximately 70% of the worlds natural rubber, Wolfsburg, Germany The Volkswagen Group has stepped up its sustainable rubber efforts and is preparing more binding requirements for the responsible sourcing of natural rubber from its tire suppliers. The general rule is that most natural products are more sustainable than the synthetic versions of the same product. Sustainability in the Natural Rubber Supply Chain The first steps towards more sustainable natural rubber are being made in Indonesia in a development partnership between Continental and the German Gesellschaft fr Internationale Arbeit (GIZ). Whats New? Read More Made with Visme Infographic Maker 09 Feb 2018. Global Platform for Sustainable Natural Rubber A multi stakeholder initiative Transforming The Rubber Industry From Within At GPSNR, we bring together companies, smallholders, academia and civil society to transform the natural rubber supply chain into a sustainable, equitable and fair one.

VW steps up natural rubber sustainability efforts European Rubber Journal Automotive News Europe photo WOLFSBURG, Germany Volkswagen Group has stepped up its sustainable rubber efforts and is preparing "more binding" requirements for the responsible sourcing of natural rubber from its tire suppliers. by involving its stakeholders in a collaborative and transparent approach. Sustainable Natural Rubber Initiative (SNR-i) Home; About Us; News; Documents; Get Involved; FAQ . The categories correlate with the policy pillars to facilitate insight into Michelin's progress.
Natural products come from a renewable resource; in the case of natural rubber, that renewable resource is a plant. Waste materials such as waste tire rubber (WTR), waste cooking oil (WCO), bio-oils, waste engine oil (WEO), and other waste oils have been the subject of various scientific studies in the sustainable and waste research field. In September 2021, the Bridgestone Group revised its Global Sustainable Procurement Policy to respond to stakeholders expectations of contributing toward a carbon-neutral state by 2050 and beyond in light of the Policy Framework of the Global Platform for Sustainable Natural Rubber (GPSNR). As we mentioned, one type of rubber comes from trees, so its easy to think that this natural material is sustainable, ethical, eco-friendly, and overall good for the Planet, People, and Animals. 19 Oct 2017. Pricing issues also will continue to put stress on the natural rubber supply chain, which Luckett said are currently at near-record lowsabout $1.30 per kilogram. It takes six years for a tree to mature, but if it's hit with root disease in its infancy it could take an additional seven years to recover, reducing latex yields by 30-70 percent. $1 for 4 weeks Natural rubber is an excellent resource Para rubber trees absorb carbon dioxide from the air and make natural rubber that is used as a raw material for industrial products. The Group is committed to making the industry more sustainable and beneficial to everyone. With global demand for natural rubber expected to rise, a sustainable natural rubber supply chain is essential in order to preserve forests, biodiversity, and to allow long-lasting development for local communities and economies. its material supplies in the 1890s.
The Global Platform for Sustainable Natural Rubber is an international, multistakeholder, voluntary membership organisation, with a mission to lead improvements in the socioeconomic and environmental performance of the natural rubber value chain.
The first General Assembly of the Global Platform for Sustainable Natural Rubber took place on March 21, 2019, in Singapore with General Motors participating as a proud founding member. SNR-i registration update - 2016. The Sustainable Natural Rubber Roadmap 2020 - 2025 sets key indicators to guide the implementation of Michelin's Sustainable Natural Rubber Policy. To avoid the negative effects of expanding rubber plantations, land use planning should be based on a solid understanding of rubber farming constraints and their ecological impacts. Petroleum comes from crude oil, which is a non-renewable resource. So to answer the question, natural rubber is more sustainable than synthetic rubber since natural rubber comes from plants. However, there are concerns about how sustainable natural rubber actually is due to the potential environmental and social impacts of harvesting it. Natural rubber is sourced mainly from trees, while synthetic rubber is produced in a factory. Accordingly, this work reviews the use of SOURCE SUSTAINABLE NATURAL RUBBER More than 99% of the worlds natural rubber is made from latex derived from rubber trees, which is primarily sourced from Southeast Asia. Pirelli Sustainable Natural Rubber Policy is the result of a long drafting process based on consultation with key Stakeholders within the value chain, and knowledge sharing activity with Corporations having historical experience on natural raw materials sustainable sourcing.

This report contributes to this sustainability movement in the natural rubber supply chain by providing key findings of the analysis on data from the 2021 SPOTT assessments of 15 natural rubber producers and processors, looking at key environmental and social issues. Michelin's history is closely tied to natural rubber, with the Group's first expeditions to secure. But in reality, even natural rubber production is far from perfect, and it does pose some threat to the Earth and its inhabitants. The Sustainable Natural Rubber Initiative (SNR-i) has been developed under the framework of the IRSG as a voluntary and collaborative industry project to ensure that the rubber industry can build on its best practices plus demonstrate and communicate throughout the natural rubber value chain. Recent News. Lets take a look. The current environmental concerns have been identified to protect natural resources and reuse waste materials. The Sustainable Natural Rubber Initiative (SNR-i) has been developed under the framework of the IRSG as a voluntary and collaborative industry project to ensure that the rubber industry can build on its best practices plus demonstrate and communicate throughout the natural rubber value chain. GPSNR is an international membership driven platform set up to define sustainability for the natural rubber value chain. It brings together various stakeholders to a common ground based on fairness, equity and environmental sustainability. Membership is diverse, and is open to everyone in the natural rubber industry. It is also a natural carbon-positive resource (with CO2 absorption and fixation properties) because the para rubber trees store carbon within themselves. GPSNR is an independent, multi-stakeholder platform developed to lead improvements in socioeconomic and environmental performance of the natural rubber value chain. Pilot Phase Launched. The process for cultivating natural rubber sustainability involves a few key steps, from land preparation to planting and harvesting. You can find more information about why we do this here.
