We are excited to announce that Westlake University PI, Dr. Thomas Wanger, has led an important report on sustainable natural rubber production globally. The report was made public during a Global Platform for Natural Sustainable Rubber (GPSNR) webinar this week.

This work represents the first ever report summarizing all evidence for sustainable rubber production and is co-produced with the GPSNR, an organization made up of many leading companies in the rubber supply chain. It’s a critical step towards a more sustainable future in this key industry.
