Research being conducted in Ohio is proving that it might be possible for the sap of dandelions to be converted into rubber. This rubber would be cheaper than the rubber made from tree sap, but of equal quality to traditional rubber. Precise findings have not been fully finalized, yet researchers project that by 2015 they will have tripled the amount of harvested plants they have now (about 20 million).
