Traditional rubber products contain rubber and multiple additives. Unfortunately, many of these materials are obtained from fossil fuel sources, resulting in environmental hazards, overuse of dwindling reserves, and reliance on a volatile petroleum market price. The need for the use of more sustainable materials in the rubber industry is clear, and advances are being made towards this goal. This unique book highlights these developments in the science and technology of sustainable materials in the rubber and allied industries and covers both rubber materials and the ingredients necessary to make a product and also legislation and regulations pertaining to these.
