Rubber might be shaped through natural and synthetic ways.
Naturally it could be acquired through latex discovered in certain plants or trees.
Artificially Or synthetically it could be fabricated through different forms and unsaturated hydrocarbons.

Recovering and reusing rubber uses less energy than preparing all-new elastic. Additionally keeping elastic out of pits is securing the earth and human health

Sure its more cost effective to reuse rubber. But when you need to start removing wire belts, Kevlar, dirt etc from the rubber it swings the table completely.. thus why they end up in land fill..
Bigger minning tyres can be re-grooved due to the thickness of the top layer.. car tyres its cheaper to make a new one...

Same with plastics...

Unfortunately too many people still see price as the deciding factor. One day it will be cheaper to recycle or change to a new material all together but until then we will keep ripping stuff out of the earth.
One day petroleum based products will be a thing of the past......
