Why Work With Us:

Red Leaf Pulp is building Canada’s first commercial-scale wheat-straw pulp, bioproducts, and bioenergy platform using a technically advanced, carbon-negative process that turns agricultural residues into high-value, commercial materials which can be used in place of forest-based fibre, plastics and polystyrene in several applications.

By joining our team, you’ll help build and operate the first of many facilities targeted across the Canadian Prairies supporting farmers and rural communities, and help us promote innovative downstream adoption of our ag-based fibre and bioproducts.

If you want to apply your skills and experience to meaningful corporate development, execution, or operations teams and be part of a mission that will scale quickly across Canada and North America, Red Leaf offers the rare opportunity to shape a new industry from the field up.
