One possibility for US sourced raw latex is dandelions. During WWII, the Germans researched using them with little success during the war. However recent research in Germany had produced a cultivar of dandelion that may be a viable commercial source of raw latex. A pilot project was started in association with Continental Tire to see if it scales.
