This webinar will explore the complete value chain of guayule, a climate-resilient crop poised to transform underutilised marginal lands in Southern Europe into sources of sustainable rubber and other high-value bio-based materials. From the fields of Spain and France to the factory floor, this session will showcase the latest results in cultivation, harvesting downstream processing of Guayule biomass for natural rubber, latex and other bio-based products. An expert panel discussion will discuss the strategic pathway from research to value chain deployment and market uptake.
What you will learn:
- Cultivation of Guayule on marginal land. Discover our demo sites in Spain, where MIDAS partners are growing guayule with innovative farming systems in marginal agricultural land
- Production of high value products: Learn about the current research pilots and industrial initiatives for the production of natural rubber, latex, resins, and other compounds.
- Market uptake: What are the market opportunities, the challenges and the solutions to building a thriving resilient European value chain.
