Making reclaimed wood reliable at scale.
Industrial recovery that turns demolition waste into standardized building materials.
Scaling Material Recovery for Canada’s Built Environment
Founded as Backroads Reclamation, the company began by proving that high-quality materials could be recovered at scale from urban redevelopment projects.
Today, operating as Northmark Materials, the focus has expanded to building standardized, industrial infrastructure for material recovery and reuse across Canada.
Why This Matters
That material cannot be replaced.
At Northmark, we recover and process this resource into Specification-Grade Recovered Lumber (SRL™) through quality-controlled systems designed for consistency, performance, and scale.
The result is Canada’s first reliable supply chain for second-use wood suitable for modern construction and manufacturing.
This is not about nostalgia. It is about material performance, supply security, and responsible use of finite resources.
Once this heritage timber is lost, it is gone permanently. Each beam, board, and panel originates from a specific building, a specific era, and a specific growth cycle that no longer exists. When that material leaves the system, there is no substitute waiting behind it.
