Exhibit 99.1

Planet Green Enters the Fast Growing Global

Lactoferrin Market,

Adding Chief Scientist to Drive Innovation-Based

Product Portfolio Growth

Company Gains Access to Rare and Commercially

Desirable High-Quality

Lactoferrin for the Large and Rapidly Scaling

Chinese Markets,

Adding New Scientist to Drive New Product Development

NEW YORK, August 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/

-- Planet Green Holdings Corp. (NYSE American: PLAG) (the “Company”), operating a diversified portfolio of businesses, including

consumer products and online advertising, today announced it has entered into commercial operations to source, market and distribute lactoferrin,

a critical glycoprotein used in a wide range of health products, including the Company’s chewable immune tablets. Lactoferrin is

also widely used in infant formulas, sports nutrition, and a wide range of dietary and immune supplements.

To improve access to this fast-growing market,

the Company intends to expand its executive team to include a Chief Scientist. This newly added role will play a key role in sourcing

and prioritizing strategic scientific investments, joint ventures and new product launches with a goal to expand and enhance the Company’s

product portfolio and revenue generating capabilities. The Company has identified a strong leading candidate at a leading US academic

institution for this Chief Scientist role and is in advanced negotiations to fill the role in the near term.

Today, commercially produced lactoferrin is produced primarily through

two methods:

● Extraction from Bovine Milk (dominant method):

o Whey or skim milk from traditional dairy processing is highly purified using membrane filtration and ion-exchange chromatography to

isolate bovine lactoferrin.

o Because milk contains relatively little lactoferrin, very large volumes of milk are required, making production expensive and supply

constrained.

● Precision fermentation (emerging):

o Genetically engineered microorganisms (such as yeast or fungi) produce recombinant lactoferrin in fermentation

tanks.

o This approach offers greater scalability, consistency, and potentially lower costs, although commercial

adoption is still in its early stages.

The Company is focused on delivering world class

products that require the highest quality lactoferrin for the Chinese market. The target market is currently the world’s largest

lactoferrin market, representing 22% of the estimated $300 million in annual global demand today. The market is expanding rapidly, at

an estimated 9% annually, and is expected to exceed $100 million in annual sales in China alone by 2030 and $500 million globally. China

imports almost all lactoferrin today, due primarily to limited domestic production capabilities.

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Zhou

Bin commented on the importance of this critical compound in the global health markets, “Lactoferrin is a crucial glycoprotein that

is part of your body’s immune response and is the hero ingredient in our chewable immune tablets. With our rapidly growing market

share and consumer adoption, gaining access to this critical ingredient should only enhance our market position going forward.”

“Lactoferrin is obtained from mammalian

milk, and has been dubbed “Pink Gold”, not only due to its pale pink hue, but also because of its extremely high commercial

value. Extracting lactoferrin from cow’s milk is a complex and costly process, and the low yield and high demand make it a valuable and

sought after bioactive ingredient.”

“We use pure lactoferrin which is unavailable

in China for most of manufacturers and is expected to command a premium due to its high-quality. With a large market growing quickly to

well over $100 million addressable market, we see this as attracting and compelling business opportunity for many years to come,”

concluded Mr. Zhou.
