PCR are distributed through dealers and partly directly to ALPLA for the production of plastic packaging within its own business group. Its main strategy is to drive market demand through major domest ic and international manufacturers in the food and beverage and household product industries that have sustainability policies and clear targets to increase the use of PCR. PCR products are also exported to countries where manufacturers are required to use PCR, such as those in the European Unions and the U.S. Value Added Oleochemicals (VAO) Methyl Ester Methyl ester is a basic oleochemical. Also known as B100, it can be blended into diesel to make biodiesel that meets EN 14214 European standards for diesel engines. Methyl ester helps augment the efficiency of diesel, for both lubrication and combustion. It also increases an engine’s lifespan and, more importantly, minimizes pollution and environmental impacts by reducing PM2.5 emissions. Fatty Alcohol Fatty alcohol is a basic oleochemical used as a feedstock in a number of different processes in the personal care industry. It is also used as an ingredient or a component of many other products, including surfactants, plasticizers, solvents, aroma compounds for perfumes, detergents, foam stabilizers, lubricants, cosmetics, plastic intermediates, shampoos, as well as paints and coating products. They are also found in leatherwear and ink. Fatty Alcohol Ethoxylate Derived from fatty alcohol and EO, fatty alcohol ethoxylate is used as feedstock for personal care, and home care products. In textiles, it is used as a scouring agent, which is part of the preparation process, and as a softener, which is the last step in fiber preparation. Glycerin Glycerin, a by-product of methyl ester and fatty alcohol production, is used in pharmaceuticals, food, personal care and other industries. Fatty Acid Fatty acid is a basic oleochemical product used for personal care production, such as soap and cosmetics, also used as a feedstock in specialty oleochemicals downstream production. Specialty Oleochemicals Specialty oleochemicals are derived from chemical processes that involve value-adding to basic oleochemicals such as fatty acids, fatty alcohols and glycerin. These specialty products imparts performance characteristics in applications across multiple industries, including home and personal care, plastics processing, construction chemicals, lubricants, oil & gas, lawncare, etc. 59 PTT GLOBAL CHEMICAL PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED Form 56-1 One Report 2023
