100% natural rubber – how is it made?
Natural rubber comes from the sap of the Hevea brasiliensis tree, also known as the rubber tree. The process is both natural and sustainable:
Tapping the tree
Rubber farmers make a small, careful incision in the bark of the tree. From this cut, a milky liquid called latex flows out. This is the raw material for natural rubber.
Collecting the latex
The liquid latex is collected in small containers attached to the tree. Importantly, the tree is not cut down — it continues producing latex for many years.
Processing the latex
The collected latex is filtered and then processed to remove water and impurities. It is then transformed into solid rubber through a process of coagulation and drying
Shaping and finishing
The rubber is molded into the desired form — in this case, Fipper Slippers. After shaping, the material is finished, dyed (if needed), and prepared for use.
