Yulex also produce Guayule rubber which can be grown in North America. This form of natural rubber is better for the environment than synthetic petroleum rubber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Neoprene production is very harmful to the environment due to the energy required to produce it. Usually, all neoprene foams are petroleum or limestone based. This energy intensive, non-renewable synthetic rubber is a major contributor to climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yulex Pure is a plant-based neoprene replacement that reduces the carbon footprint of rubber production. This closed cell foam made with natural rubber is the first entirely organic replacement for common petroleum derived neoprene.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yulex is the brand name for a variety of biomaterial rubber products made from Guayule.
