The rubber seed availability and supply are studied and focused on Southeast Asia region. Technologies with rubber seed and rubber seed oil processing are reviewed. Challenges over rubber seed utilisation, e.g. rubber seed biomass availability, labour issue, etc., are raised and discussed. Future developments of rubber seed utilisation, in term of its management trends and supply solutions, are proposed. Rubber seed is gaining attractions for its vast practical applications, as a result of the expansion of rubber industry. © 2013 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg. date: 2014 publisher: Springer Verlag official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84899105623&doi=10.1007%2fs10098-013-0667-6&partnerID=40&md5=7816f303093121fcec2675badcf346ae id_number: 10.1007/s10098-013-0667-6 full_text_status: none publication: Clean Technologies and Environmental Policy volume: 16 number: 3 pagerange: 439-453 refereed: TRUE issn: 1618954X citation: Ng, W.P.Q. and Lim, M.T. and Bt Mohamad Izhar, S.M. and Lam, H.L. and Yusup, S.
