Planet Green Holdings Corp (PLAG) is a China-based multi-segment company that operates across dark tea processing, alcohol-based alternative vehicle fuels, and digital advertising services. Revenue is generated through product sales of compressed and loose-leaf dark tea, fuel sales to vehicle fuel customers, and digital advertising campaign services delivered through its Fast Approach subsidiary. The tea segment produces brick dark tea, mini brick dark tea, and loose-leaf dark tea using fermentation, compression, and proprietary re-portioning techniques, primarily competing against smaller regional tea processors in China. The fuel segment sells alcohol-based high-clean fuels for transportation, competing directly with conventional gasoline, diesel, and other alternative fuel providers. Fast Approach operates in cross-border digital advertising between China and North America, competing against global agencies and programmatic platforms. The company is incorporated with principal operations in China, and the majority of its directors and senior officers are PRC nationals or residents. PLAG reported net losses from both continuing and discontinued operations for fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, per its 10-K filed March 31, 2026.
