In other countries the proportion is somewhat less. In the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and France it is probably between 70 per cent. and 75 per cent. In most other countries it is below this figure; but in all the important manufacturing countries it is the chief use to which rubber is put. As already stated it is estimated that the tyre industry of the world absorbs some 75 per cent. of the total production of crude rubber. The needs of all the other varied rubber industries are satisfied by ‘25 per cent. of the eride rubber gsvailable. VII.-RECLAIMED RUBBER. 22. The foregoing paragraphs deal with the production and dis- tribution of crude rubber. Reclaimed rubber is also used in in- dustry, although experience has not been sufficient to prove that it is a satisfactory substitute for crude rubber. No countries ex- cept the United States, in which rubber reclaiming has been further developed than elsewhere, compile statistics of the quantities ab- sorbed. In the United States 150,000 tons of reclaimed rubber were used in 1928 in addition to the 440,000 tons of crude rubber. For certain minor products reclaimed rubber is said to be not only Use in the ndustry reherally.
