Red Leaf Pulp Ltd. is Canada’s first producer of climate-positive, non-wood pulp and renewable energy. We convert cereal grain straw into high-performance market pulp, bio-energy, and sustainable bio-materials.
Founded by experienced professionals in the pulp and paper industry, Red Leaf was created to offer a cleaner, more sustainable solution to traditional wood pulp. Our process supports the shift to regenerative agriculture and a circular economy.
Our flagship facility is located west of Regina, Saskatchewan, with construction set to begin in Q1 2026. Full operations are expected in the first half of 2028. We work with producers primarily within a 150 km radius of Regina. Our corporate headquarters is in Kelowna, British Columbia.
We produce sustainable, wood-free pulp made from wheat straw - a renewable byproduct of cereal grain farming. Our pulp is used in tissue, paperboard, molded fiber packaging, and specialty paper.
Compared to traditional wood pulp, our process uses about 95% less water and 70% less energy, dramatically lowering the carbon footprint. It also prevents burning and disposal of straw, helping reduce greenhouse gas emissions and support more sustainable farming practices.
Yes. We use clean technology to reduce emissions, conserve water, and generate low-carbon bioenergy from our byproducts. Our operations support ESG goals and contribute to a climate-positive future.
Yes. Global demand for sustainable, non-wood pulp is growing fast, especially in the tissue, paper, and packaging industries looking to reduce reliance on forest-based materials.

No problem. We offer a competitive baling and roadside pickup program. You’ll see your options during signup in Red Leaf Connect.
You’ll be paid directly by Red Leaf Pulp. All terms and timelines are clearly outlined in your agreement.
Weather happens. If your bales get wet, we’ll assess the quality together. If they’re still usable, we’ll accept them. Severely damaged bales may not be accepted, but we’ll always aim to find the best solution with you.
We offer a low-risk way to earn more from your land by monetizing leftover straw. Instead of burning or leaving bales to decompose, you get paid for that material. Our pricing outpaces nutrient replacement costs, and we offer full-service support including baling and pickup.
You stay in control - choose how much you want to sell and when. It’s a simple way to generate extra income, clean up your fields, and support sustainable farming.
We help maximize the value of every acre by creating a reliable market for post-harvest straw. This reduces waste, cuts emissions, and gives farmers a stake in the sustainable future of agriculture.
Our facility is located in Regina, Saskatchewan. Construction begins in Q1 2026, and operations are expected to start in H1 2028. It will process 400,000 tonnes of straw annually into 200,000 tonnes of market pulp.
We completed a comprehensive Environmental Assessment with the Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment and received full approval on November 3, 2022.
