Policy and Marketing The demand for eco-friendly products has been rising thanks to greater environmental awareness and campaigns. In addition, it is expected that green technologies and chemicals will replace current ones in the sphere of health and personal care products. As a result, many countries are actively seeking alternative energy, reducing the use of synthetic chemicals, and looking for substitutes that consist of or are made of natural ingredients, while customer demand across the world for commodity goods featuring or produced from renewable natural feedstock has shown an upward trend. GC recognizes the significance of the value addition to agricultural products and the sustainable growth of the green chemical industry and strives to become a world-class green chemical operator that stands out in every market it operates in. GGC’s main product is methyl ester, almost all of which is sold to domestic high-speed diesel manufacturers and blenders. Methyl ester is sold directly to customers through purchase agreements with clearly specified terms. Fatty alcohol is sold both domestically and internationally, with primary customers being commodity product manufacturers, oleochemical operators, as well as traders and distributors who subsequently sell fatty alcohol to their customers. The principal domestic customer is Thai Ethoxylate Co., Ltd. (TEX), while international customers are based on various countries in Asia, Europe, South Africa, and South America. Glycerin is sold to manufacturers and distributors of health and personal care products and in other industries both domestically and internationally both via distributors and direct sale.
