Hevea Rubber
Natural rubber is a stretchy, durable material made from the latex sap of rubber trees, primarily the Hevea brasiliensis species. Farmers tap these trees to collect the sap, which is then processed into rubber. It is harvested by tapping the trees, and the resulting latex is processed into various products like tires, gloves, elastic bands and of course your favorite Hevea products.

Biodegradable
Key characteristics include high elasticity, strength, abrasion resistance, and biodegradability. Natural rubber is biodegradable, making it more environmentally friendly than plastic.
rubber plantation
This approach enhances ecosystem health, improves soil quality, and keeps pests in check, creating a more sustainable and resilient agricultural system. dditionally, well-managed rubber plantations as our partners ones prevent soil erosion, enhance water retention, and improve overall ecosystem health. Sustainable practices like agroforestry and intercropping amplify these benefits even more.

Once a rubber tree is planted, it takes about 7 years before it can be tapped for rubber. However, once it starts, it can continue to be harvested for another 30-40 years! When the rubber tree reaches the end of its lifespan, it's cut down, and a new tree is planted in its place. More trees mean more carbon dioxide is absorbed, benefiting the environment. Rubber plantations have a significant positive impact on the environment. By absorbing carbon dioxide, they help mitigate climate change.
rubber wood
Rubberwood comes from rubber trees, specifically the Hevea Brasiliensis species - the same trees that give us natural rubber. Once these trees stop producing latex, usually after about 25-30 years, they are harvested for their wood. This makes rubberwood a highly sustainable and eco friendly material because it utilizes trees that would otherwise be wasted.
It's a strong and sturdy wood, and with its light color and fine grain, rubberwood is visually appealing and fits well with various interior designs. That is why we uses it to our stools and storage shelves.
