Finding a commercial alternative to hevea natural rubber has never been more urgent as climate change, flooding, the risk of leaf blight and more threaten the global supply of this critical material. 

Join Rubber News Editor Bruce Meyer and Online Content Editor Sam Cottrill with a panel of experts for a discussion on alternatives to natural rubber. Panelists will discuss where we are with establishing a commercial alternative, where we’re going over the next decade as the industry increases investments and research in the material, and where we need to be, given the global economy’s dependence on NR. Because without it, there is no global economy.
