Why was scrap rubber a common event occurrence during world war 2?

During World War II, scrap rubber was collected as part of the war effort due to the critical shortage of rubber caused by the conflict disrupting supply lines, particularly from Southeast Asia. Rubber was essential for manufacturing tires, military vehicles, and various equipment. Governments organized scrap rubber drives to encourage citizens to donate used rubber products, such as old tires and hoses, to support the production of necessary war materials. These efforts helped to conserve resources and maintain military readiness during the war.
