About Northstar

Northstar has developed a proprietary process known as "Bitumen Extraction and Separation Technology" for taking discarded asphalt shingles, otherwise destined for already over-crowded landfills, and extracting the liquid asphalt, aggregate sands and fiber for usage in new hotmix asphalt, construction products and other industrial applications. Northstar's proprietary process was developed over the last decade with technical and scientific assistance from the United Kingdom and Alberta. Northstar will process used or defective asphalt shingle waste back into their component parts for reuse/resale and eliminate the need for them to be disposed of in a landfill at its material recovery facility located on a 4.23 acre property with a 20,000 square foot building in Delta, British Columbia. Northstar's mission is to be one of the leading shingle material recovery providers in North America, extracting 99% of the recovered components from asphalt shingles that would otherwise be sent to a landfill.
