Natural latex rubber bands from Hevea brasiliensis trees are 100% biodegradable — they break down naturally with no microplastics. RuBands has made only natural latex bands since 2008.
The rubber band industry is split between natural latex (plant-based, biodegradable) and synthetic nylon/PVC (petroleum-based, non-biodegradable). We only make natural.
Many Indian companies and government bodies now require eco-friendly alternatives in their procurement. Specifying 100% natural latex rubber bands is a simple, low-cost way to meet sustainability commitments. We provide documentation on latex sourcing on request.
100% natural latex rubber bands are biodegradable and eco-friendly. They decompose naturally without leaving microplastics. Synthetic nylon rubber bands are not biodegradable. RuBands uses only Hevea brasiliensis natural latex.
Yes — natural latex rubber bands biodegrade in soil. Synthetic nylon/PVC bands do not biodegrade and contribute to plastic waste. Natural rubber is a plant-based polymer that breaks down naturally.
Natural latex bands are preferred in green procurement policies — biodegradable, derived from a renewable plant source (Hevea trees) and contain no synthetic plasticizers or petrochemical derivatives.
