Sustainably Harvested Rubber
Natural rubber is harvested by tapping the Havea tree and collecting the sap. Sustainably harvested rubber comes from forests that are carefully managed to avoid over-tapping, ensuring healthy rubber trees for the future. Some sustainable rubber tree management prohibits clear cutting to plant rubber plantations, and ensures the livelihoods of native peoples and local workers.

I really like these hair ties. The colors are great and they are soft and not too tight, which makes them comfortable to wear on your wrist when your hair is down. The only reason I don’t give them 5 stars is because the width is a little thick, which makes them look chunky on the end of a braid. Overall very happy, just wish they were a bit thinner
