RCMA Rubber is a global distributor of natural rubber and latex. The rising demand for tyres associated with the strong economic development in particular in Asia, the fact that Hevea Brasiliensis is cultivated on high conservation value land in tropical countries, and the high labour intensity of traditional production methods all increase the pressure on our 13 million tonne global industry, to take on the environment and social challenges under which rubber farmers and their dependents work. RCMA recognizes and embraces its responsibility in the supply chain to engage with both our suppliers and customers to increase awareness of the impact of their activities on all aspects of sustainability.
