Why is tall oil considered a green alternative to petroleum-based feedstocks?
The green narrative is real, but buyers should verify actual bio-content and supply chain transparency, as not all TOFA grades are equal. Also, crude tall oil supply is tied to softwood pulping, so any shift in paper demand or pulp mill closures directly impacts availability. For China, where domestic crude tall oil is limited, import dependence on Nordic and US sources remains a strategic risk.
