FAIR RUBBER – MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE
The Fair Rubber Association is committed to fair trade and the sustainable production of natural rubber.
The Fair Rubber seal is a key instrument, awarded to products that meet Fair Rubber standards.
The association has established a cultivation standard to promote greater sustainability in rubber cultivation and supports smallholders and tappers by paying a premium of €0.50 per kilogram of dry rubber.
The Fair Rubber premium benefits the people who tap or cultivate the raw material and meet the Fair Rubber standard. They decide for themselves how to use the funds to improve living and working conditions and adopt more sustainable cultivation methods.
The association brings together companies that use rubber, civil society organisations (NGOs), and individuals who want to drive improvements in the rubber sector.
