| Re: Natural Rubber - Non-Renewable?
Hmmm. I think it is renewable to a CERTAIN extent. I wouldn't say totally renewable. Like wm said, its naturally occuring addition polymer.
Due to demand and what have you, the natural sources can't keep up with demand etc. so this puts strains on the natural production.
it's sorta like ethanol. Is that renewable? same principle. Its renewable to a certain extent.
