The video was shared on the Instagram handle @foodexplorerlalit. It opens to show an individual collecting sap from a rubber tree in a bucket. As the video goes on, another man can be seen adding dye to the sap collected in drums. The video then transitions to show others dipping moulds into these coloured dyes. Once the latexes are dried, a large machine cuts them into thin pieces, creating rubber bands we use daily.
