The Second Life of Lumber: Across the Yard with Jay Sanderson, Northmark Materials S04EP13

This week’s episode is recommended for anyone interested in innovative ways to recycle and reduce waste in construction or using reclaimed wood. Have you ever wondered what happens to the wood from demolished homes? What if much of it could be recovered and put back into use? In this week’s episode of Across the Yard, Liz Kovach sits down with Jay Sanderson, President & Operations Lead at Northmark Materials Ltd., to explore the growing role of reclaimed wood in the supply chain. They dive into the process of reclaimed wood, how advocacy can play a role, and how this wood can be more accessible at a local level. They discuss how wood can be salvaged, processed, and reintroduced into the market, the importance of industry advocacy, and how reclaimed materials can become more accessible at the local level. Jay also shares plans for expansion into Calgary and eventually across Canada, and highlights the many applications for reclaimed wood, including siding, flooring, and furnishings. Tune in for an insightful conversation on reducing lumber waste and giving quality materials a second life. Enjoy the show!
