Rubber was first made from the sap of the rubber tree, known as Hevea brasiliensis, which is native to the Amazon rainforest in South America. Indigenous peoples of the region were the first to harvest and process this natural latex for various uses, including waterproofing. The commercialization of rubber began in the 19th century, leading to its widespread production and use globally.
