Doğada Kendiliğinden Yetişebilen Bitkilerden Doğal Kauçuk Üretimi: Derleme

The pandemic process that developed worldwide in 2020 has deeply affected human life and countries. Countries were required to develop more enclosed governance and attitudes in economic and social terms. Uncertainties about how long the pandemic process will continue and whether similar processes may occur again, have forced countries to take precautions in social and especially economic terms. Within the scope of these precautions, countries with the ability to cut external dependence and meet all requirements from their own assets can easily cope with these processes and will be freer in an economic sense. This study aims to offer an insight into researchs that will be performed about natural rubber production using plants growing in our country. A research was performed into alternative plants to rubber trees, which only grow in certain areas of the world and are used for natural rubber production required for many areas of our lives. Plants which self-cultivate in nature, methods for obtaining natural rubber from these plants and materials with high economic value, apart from natural rubber, that can be obtained from these plants were studied. Many plants which grow naturally in nearly all regions of our country can form the basis for many types of material with high added value. It is very clear that all types of studies which will include these resources in our economy are very valuable.
