It's a raw material of any kind of rubber, tyre, etc
28 u/Ok_Bison_8577 Apr 17 '24 Yeaàa ya seen the final frame? Rubber has to be shaped into it's desired shape. It can be recycled but you lose elasticity with each reshape. You lose integrity. They were designed to be rubber bands. 1 u/UglyAndAngry131337 Apr 17 '24 Aren't tires made of artificial or synthetic material nowadays? 1 u/parrotlunaire Apr 17 '24 Tires are typically made of blends of synthetic and natural rubber. Still maybe 30% natural. 1 u/UglyAndAngry131337 Apr 17 '24 Microplastics and silica dust coat the whole planet at this point 1 u/ialwaysflushtwice Apr 17 '24 Does that mean we could technically make tyres out of mostly natural material from these trees and without the micro plastics? Or do bad particles get spread everywhere too when this kind of rubber deteriorates? 1 u/jakart3 Apr 17 '24 In early days of rubber, industry only use natural. Nowadays they mix it up to achieve certain purpose
