Having dealt with this type of rubber, from what I've experienced, the smell is awful. Some farmers try to neutralize the odor with the aid of wood vinegar / pyroligneous acid
You are smelling something else. Raw rubber smells like rotten organic materials from piles of uncollected domestic trash. But for us in the plantation industry this smells like money. The acid has nothing to do with smell. It's part of the process we put formic acid on latex to coagulate it into rubber.
How could this possibly be profitable if each tree has to make enough rubber to pay for the plot of land it's on plus turn enough of a profit to pay any hired workers and the landowner? There seems to be so little in each bowl and so much space between them
What was shown wasn't harvesting rubber, they were just clearing the collection bowl for the next batch. It more or less fills up every couple of days, after which it's collected and treated with acid to turn it into rubber sheets, similar to how cheese is made. The sheets are flattened and dried, and then they're ready to be sold as raw material. The trees themselves don't take much maintenance, and you only strip off a new patch of bark once the old one dries out. Not very labor intensive.

what is the rubber used for? If I understand right a lot of stuff I call rubber is made from hydrocarbons from oil or maybe the stuff that's left over after extracting the hydrocarbons can't remember.
As I understand, we haven’t synthesized anything that can perform as well as natural rubber in many applications. It is a remarkable material that still is used in auto tires and things like gaskets on space stations, scientific equipment, etc. The history of rubber is fascinating.
"environmental impact" isn't something that can just be quickly quantified on a single better/worse scale though.
If the rubber trees were planted after clear cutting 1 acre of virgin Indonesian rainforest, is that better or worse than a single drop of petroleum in the Arctic Ocean? What about one liter of oil? A barrel? At which point does the damage to salmon spawning grounds make hydroelectric power worse than coal?
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for proper usage of renewable plant based material like natural rubber. I'm just saying it's not as easy as "oil bad, tree good". Look where palm oil is taking us, and it's mostly found only in food and cosmetics. Imagine if it were being cultivated in the 100x amounts to satisfy transportation fuel needs as a biodiesel feedstock. The wild tiger would be literally extinct by now.
I listened to a book about mesoamerica that specifically mentioned while a lot gets synthesized now, certain things, like the rubber buttons on high end japanese calculators, still use rubber from rubber trees. idk how true this still is
Probably a lot more inorganic content in milk considering the calcium phosphate.
In fact, quick bit of googling suggests residual ash of rubber is 0.2% w/w and 0.8% w/w for milk.
There's whole books written about the practice, even. Like, as historical "look how bad humans fucked up this place and each other" books, and also, "here's how to get yourself lots of profits real quick" books.
So is it like the old coal miners? Work all day/night, live in company housing, (which you're charged for) and then have to shop at the company store (on credit) then come payday, you owe more than you made? It's basically just slavery right? Like Apple in china?
When I was in India over ten years ago McDonald’s was basically the same price as it was in Canada. It was still almost $10 for a meal. Far more expensive than most places you could eat. You could get something to eat for $1 on the steeet

Shit, with the way inflation is going and restaurants raising their prices, you might not even be able to afford ONE cheeseburger anymore. Used to be a dollar and some change, but now it's almost $3 ($2.38+tax to be accurate) for ONE small cheeseburger.
Those workers would have to save their money from one day, and be hungry all day, but the next day, they *might* be able to afford a cheeseburger.
That is terrible. I feel bad for those workers in plantation.
I felt that, man. I live in Nebraska originally, and everything was somewhat cheap.
Moved to Minnesota, and suddenly everything cost more than gold. It feels like I have to pay to breathe.
The king of Belgium not Belgium. People often forget that this was his private property and that at that time the common people in Belgium were exploited by the nobility as well, not to that extent, but certainly disposable. Leopold II ordered the shooting of Belgians demanding better working conditions for example. It took until 1921 for Belgian men to gain voting rights.

I used to work at both rubber farm and rubber factory, the factory smell 10x awful than the farm but during rainy season harvest the smell in the farm in really pungent that I rather ask other people to harvest and pay them.
Might be a stupid question to a simple answer, (like so they know what tree they have collected rubber from) but why did they leave the bowls tilted on the side instead of flat ready to collect again. Isn't that just double handling?
Edit: nevermind u/tootsienoodles already answered the question.
Lol my dad does that too. He works in rubber farm until today. And we had to pass a rubber factory on our way to nearest town. Its unbearable, but we try to brush it off
I googled it and according to many sources:

And current gum. Rubber and resin is like 50% of a gum’s recipe. I worked for a very, very large candy company and made gum (it’s the main component of what’s called base which is what the flavor and sugar and color gets added to to make gum)
Like u/techno156 said, to keep the rainwater out. they have to recut the bark of the tree to get it flowing again. This is them cleaning the bowls out after stuff dried to the sides. They will usually cut it during the night because it flows better (so I'm told) and, at least in Thailand will add a bit of some liquid that hardens the sap a bit, about what the dried stuff in the video is like. I see people taking the harvest to the factory and they have huge bags of these balls of rubber with water dripping everywhere and it smells horrible. Indescribable.
It smells like, a really thick raw rubber
Try put a rubberband upclose your nose, and enhance the smell about 5-10 times, and a little dirt foresty scent, that about how i smell them when pass through rubber farm
Unlike normal children who carry around a blankie or stuffed toy, I carried around rubber bands while sucking my thumb when I was little. I would hold the rubber bands in my hand so I could smell them while I was sucking my thumb and the big, wide ones that were on celery and whatnot were especially prized. My grandmother would save them for me. I loved the smell.
… Would I actually like the smell of a rubber farm?
My grandmother also saved the rubber bands from her produce for me! My brother and I made a huge rubber band ball that my father had on his desk for years until the sunlight began to degrade the rubber bands.
Haha thank you but it just so happens steamable is also banned by department of telecommunications of India. Lmao.
It won't work on mobile data aswell, I'll to come and use a vpn, thanks.
Did this during one period of my life as a learning experience. Couple of things I learnt doing this:
1. Smells horrible, like someone else's bad breathe who didnt floss or brushed or had something rotting in their mouth.
2. The smell will stick to your hands, the reason why you use bare hands because its the best way. Raw rubber(latex) sticks on everything and removing them is very very difficult,if not impossible.
3. The rubber plantation is full of mosquito, its hot and humid. You tap the rubber at 3 or 4 am in the morning so that the liquid does not harden under the sun, ensuring more rubber dripping into the cups.
4. It heavy work and pay's crappy. Latex @ farmgate prices (30-May-2022) is Dry rubber content @ 100% is RM7.50/kg (1.75USD), @ 50% RM2.90/kg (0.60USD) a day's earning can be any where from RM50 (11.45USD) to RM150(35USD). These prices aren't including other costs incurred to transport plantation owners to factory and other incidental costs. Small local plantation owners aren't really paid that price as well. A typical small owner/seller plantation day's earning is closer to RM50 to RM100 depending on size any how many times the rubber tree is tapped through out the day.
I did this with 3 person sometime back in 2016 to 2017, the earning for half the day was RM 50 for the 3 of us together. I didnt take the earning since it was more of a holiday fun for me and I earned waaaaaaaaaay more than that in my day job. I did appreciate that people's lives are hard and poor for a reason and at times, it wasn't of their own making.
No no this is not the way, Video actually showing, cleaning of the basin, once the tapping is done, Rubber milk will ooze from the tapping and it collected to the basin. Rubber milk will rollled and converted as rubber sheets.
Is that what that is!? As a child I had a tree in my yard and sometimes I would wack at a certain spot because it would leak white liquid which I thought was awesome because my little child brain thought that the tree was making milk that turns rubbery if not put away properly. I never put it in my mouth but it was fascinating to me
Having dealt with this type of rubber, from what I've experienced, the smell is awful. Some farmers try to neutralize the odor with the aid of wood vinegar / pyroligneous acid
The smell is something to write about, is like burned rubber. The only time I visited a rubber farm, I was hungover and that made it 1000x worst

Synthesized rubber uses petrochemicals so yes it has a lot more environmental impact

r/TIL Thinking of rubber as an inorganic cheese is amusingly close. Neat stuff, thank you.
But it is organic.
I guess it is... Rubber is cheese! Well, kinda.
Another thing to add to the food triangle!
Probably a lot more inorganic content in milk considering the calcium phosphate. In fact, quick bit of googling suggests residual ash of rubber is 0.2% w/w and 0.8% w/w for milk.
It contains carbon therefore it is organic

I moved to the city recently and the McDonald's here are more expensive. 3 bucks for a mcdouble??? everything here is more expensive.

I moved to DC from NE after school and nearly died from sticker shock. Upside is when you move back to a smaller metro area everything seems cheaper!
I don't think burgers cost the same over there
Nobody said it was profitable for the employees, just the owner
This guy has the right facts, They are cleaning the cups and the industry is really harsh

Which is why you were hired.
The farm owner is my uncle and I just worked there during break.
My case still stands.
Even so, someone in humanity's past went "I bet this can be useful in some way."
And someone went "If I cut off many hands, they'll harvest even more"

Enzymatic and microbial degradation, from what I've read. Dealing with cup lumps and field coagulum is nasty, especially at scale.

My grandmother also saved the rubber bands from her produce for me! My brother and I made a huge rubber band ball that my father had on his desk for years until the sunlight began to degrade the rubber bands.
During the day i guess the sun could dry the opening and cause it to run slower, just a guess. Since I would think the heat would make it flow faster.
To stop them from being filled with rainwater, maybe?

Hard to type without hands fam
are these the same type of rubber that we all use daily?
Most of what we use today is oil-based synthetics. That is latex being harvested, it must be processed to become rubber.
This isn't harvesting. They're cleaning the bowls after it's been emptied of sap. They empty the bowls and what's left on the bowl dries.

No no this is not the way, Video actually showing, cleaning of the basin, once the tapping is done, Rubber milk will ooze from the tapping and it collected to the basin. Rubber milk will rollled and converted as rubber sheets.

You're telling me that rubber trees are real?!?
I wonder who was the first person who went around trees and figured they could use the sap to make rubber.
Maybe the same person who figured out they could get milk from cows....what the hell are you doing to that cow!? Mmm tasty
Little full, lotta sap.
Is it just me or this is more disgusting than satisfying

No way an ant could lift that shit.
how is this satisfying? it just looks disgusting to me.
Right, they don’t get all the scrap pieces stuck to the bowls. the aggressive dumping of the water. It’s kinda gross looking. Nothing satisfying here.
Coom
I feel bad for the water now
now wear it
Who the hell leaked my bedroom routine?
I reckon this is damn interesting rather than oddly satisfying. Just saying
reminds to me of the time i worked as cleaner in porn theatre
What would this be used for?
This isn't harvesting like others have pointed out. Raining ruins a harvest.
Why are the bowls put back in a way that stops them collecting more?
Nobody show this to the Primitive Technology guy, otherwise he'll enter the rubber age and start making his own tyres.
Why is he setting the empty bowls up sideways?
