THE development of the reclaimed rubber interest in the 

 United States has been accompanied by a large importa- 

 tion of waste or scrap rubber, a class of material twenty 

 years ago of little commercial value outside this country. It may 

 be of interest to have a record of details of such imports showing 

 the countries of origin and the quantities (in pounds) of the 



From— 1891. 1892. 1893.

rubber scrap imported as shown by official statistics for fiscal 

 years ending June 30. It will be seen from our table that whereas 

 less than 500,000 pounds of scrap were imported in 1890-91 from 

 seven countries, the imports in 1908-09 reached 20,497,695 pounds 

 and were derived from 28 countries. Today more scrap is util- 

 ized abroad than formerly.
