Where Canada's Resources Find Their Market
Canadian Resource Distribution is a full-service resource brokerage connecting Canadian industry with the buyers, processors, and end markets that their materials deserve.
Canadian Resource Distribution was founded on a straightforward principle: raw materials and recovered resources circulate more efficiently when there is a knowledgeable, trustworthy intermediary at the centre of the transaction. We serve as that intermediary for producers, processors, and buyers right across the country.
Whether you are a tire recycler with tonnes of crumb rubber to place, a scrap yard moving ferrous and non-ferrous metal, or a plastics processor looking for a reliable offtake stream, CRD provides the market connections and logistics coordination to close deals efficiently.

High-quality crumb rubber available across multiple mesh gradations — from coarse to fine — produced from end-of-life tires. A versatile commodity used in athletic surfaces, playground safety systems, asphalt modification, moulded goods, and industrial applications.
Primary-shredded tire-derived rubber (TDF) available in bulk volumes. Widely used as a cost-effective supplemental fuel in cement kilns and industrial boilers, as civil engineering fill, and as feedstock for secondary processing or direct pyrolysis conversion.
We broker a full range of ferrous scrap sourced from demolition, heavy manufacturing, and equipment decommissioning. Product streams include structural and plate steel, cast iron, and food-grade or industrial-grade stainless steel — supplied in shredded, baled, or loose form to match mill requirements.
Premium non-ferrous commodities in various forms and grades. Copper wire, sheet, and pipe; aluminium extrusions, sheet, and cast material — available in clean and mixed streams. CRD coordinates sorting, grading, and logistics to maximise recovery value for producers and deliver consistent quality to buyers.
Sorted and baled post-industrial and post-consumer recyclable plastic streams matched to compounders, reclaimers, and export markets. CRD works with producers to improve stream purity and secure the strongest possible offtake pricing for materials that qualify for traditional recycling pathways.
Mixed, contaminated, or multi-layer plastics that cannot enter traditional recycling streams are repurposed through pyrolysis conversion — eliminating costly landfill disposal while generating high-value refined oils and recovered carbon black (rCB). CRD connects producers of these residual streams with pyrolysis operators, turning a liability into a revenue stream.
Many Canadian businesses generate carbon credits as a direct byproduct of what they already do — tire recycling, waste diversion, material recovery, and pyrolysis conversion all create measurable, certifiable emissions reductions.
CRD is developing a carbon credit marketplace to aggregate producer credits and place them with enterprises that need to offset their footprint. This service is currently in development.
Whether you have product to sell, materials to source, or simply want to understand the market for what you produce — CRD is the call to make.
