Bridgestone Europe has confirmed the recent development of a totally new technology that significantly improves the rubber productivity of Guayule plants through a joint development project with Kirin Holdings in the beer and beverage market.
This partnership has helped the large scale breeding of Guayule plants from high quality seeds which effectively increases the rubber output from Guayule farms to meet demand from the tyre industry in Europe and around the world.
Bridgestone intend to ‘field test this new innovative technology on Guayule seedlings as well as probably implementing the system to the eventual desired genotype for testing and production in the future.
