West Coast Reduction provides a wide range of services essential to the efficient functioning of Western Canada’s agriculture and food – as well as bio-fuels – sectors. Over more than five decades we have supported Canada’s agriculture and food sectors, diverting components – like used restaurant oils, animal processing waste – out of landfills and converting them into useful products such as animal and aquaculture feed ingredients. Over the last several years, our focus has grown and we have invested in capacity and infrastructure to help meet increasing demand for animal fats, which have become an essential ingredient in the creation of next generation liquid bio-fuels. In addition to our rendering and fats operations, we also play a major role in Canada’s canola oil trade, storing and handling over 50% of Canada’s Asia-bound canola exports.

Below, please find some articles, podcasts, and videos to help you learn more about all the amazing work we do.
