Bridgestone and Universities Uncover Genetic Code of Valuable Trees

Bridgestone Corporation, in partnership with leading scientific institutions, is opening a new chapter in the history of natural rubber production. Through in-depth genetic analysis of rubber trees, the company and its academic partners aim to develop revolutionary technology. The goal is to identify "elite" trees at an early stage, allowing for maximum optimization of harvesting and increased stability.

This innovative approach not only guarantees more efficient use of natural resources but also contributes to reducing costs, making natural rubber a more accessible and sustainable raw material for future generations.
