Feedstocks Indian plants actually buy
Used cooking oil is the headline feedstock. Plants also buy animal tallow, chicken fat, palm fatty acid distillate, acid oil from refineries, and in some cases high-FFA trap grease. Each has a different pre-treatment cost.
Online buying vs trader calls
Trader networks still exist. Online RFQs create a written spec, a timestamped offer, and a fulfilment record. That is what lenders, offtakers, and auditors want when they ask how you sourced feedstock.
How to buy on BioTradX
Create a manufacturer profile, publish an RFQ with chemical limits, review seller documents, and negotiate in-platform. Escrow and dispatch tracking apply when the trade is completed on the platform.
Quality discipline
Do not skip a first-lot sample. Ask for a simple COA on FFA and moisture. Reject mixed lots that smell of solvents. Feedstock quality is plant utilisation.
