Guayule natural rubber offers a greener option in condoms

Last year, 437 million condoms were sold in the United States alone. Yes, it’s true; condoms are a very popular birth control option preferred by both men and women. Currently, a majority of condoms are manufactured in Southeast Asia and imported into the US. However, that could soon change thanks to Yulex. With the help of guayule natural rubber, Yulex plans to partner with a manufacturer to produce safe, natural condoms made from an American product. Additionally, this could help to minimize that factory-to-market journey.

See the March 2009 article from Slate.com, What’s the Greenest Form of Birth Control to learn more.
