What is it about?
Bio-based natural wastes could be considered eco-friendly alternatives to conventional fillers for enhancing the properties and reducing the cost of final rubber products.

Why is it important?
RHS could be used successfully as a supporting filler for carbon black-reinforced EPDM/NBR composite vulcanizates because it enhanced their thermal stability and swelling resistance in the motor oil.
Perspectives
Therefore, since they meet the standards of environmental protection and sustainable development, RHFs and RHS agro-waste could be successfully proposed as green supporting fillers for the production of automotive rubber products resistant to automotive oils with desirable mechanical properties and good thermal stability at low cost (e.g., oil seals, gaskets, hoses, automobile spare parts, and O-rings).
