We’re a Canadian cleantech company pioneering North America’s first large-scale, non-wood pulp mill—using wheat straw, not trees, to make high-quality pulp for sustainable packaging, tissue, and molded products.
Founded in 2019, Red Leaf combines proven technology with proprietary process innovation to convert underutilized agricultural residue into a renewable alternative to forest-based pulp. Our first facility, located in Regina, Saskatchewan, is on track for commercial production by 2028 and will deliver 220,000 tonnes of premium pulp annually—while generating renewable power and producing high-value, sulfur-free lignin as a co-product.
Our approach is circular, climate-positive, and designed for scale. We’ve solved the two biggest challenges to alternative fiber in North America—effluent handling and consistent fiber quality—enabling us to deliver better performance at a lower cost and environmental footprint than traditional pulp mills.
With strong market demand, exclusive partnerships, and a clear path to scale, Red Leaf is leading the shift to climate-positive materials—creating new value from waste and helping decarbonize the global supply chain.
Construction of our flagship facility is set to begin in 2026, with full operations expected by mid-2028.
