About

The Red Leaf process uses proven off-the-shelf equipment and will produce economic quantities of market pulp from wheat straw at scale for the first time in North America. The key innovations (and patents pending) that unlock fiber production at scale are a result of Red Leaf's drive to solve a global problem: How to use byproducts of alternative fiber production. Red Leaf has established a climate-positive pathway to convert the byproducts and displace fossil-fuel based energy. The initial facility in Regina, Saskatchewan, is in the final stages of design and financing and is expected to be in commercial operation by first quarter 2026.
