Rokstone is taking another big step in its global growth journey with the launch of our Waste and Recycling product in Canada, bringing one of our longest-standing, most successful specialist lines to a market that is underserved and ready for expert solutions.
Reinforcing the Rokstone reputation as a market leader in niche classes of business, this move provides Canada access to the expertise, service and risk management that have made this portfolio so successful elsewhere. Distributed to the wholesale market, brokers can leverage our capacity and technical knowledge to offer clients solutions that were previously unavailable.
Why Canada, Why Now?
Canada’s recycling and waste sector is evolving rapidly, but specialist insurance solutions have been limited. Many brokers and clients have had to rely on generic cover that does not fully meet the complexities of the trade.
By bringing our portfolio to Canada, Rokstone is stepping into a market where demand is rising but true expertise is scarce. With CAD 6m of admitted Lloyd’s backed capacity available across the country (excluding Quebec), brokers can deliver cover that is technical, sustainable and supported by unrivalled risk management.
A Proven Formula for Success
For more than 20 years, the Rokstone Waste and Recycling division has built its reputation on:
● Specialist expertise - providing a deep understanding of how waste and recycling businesses operate.
● Comprehensive risk management - delivered through our close partnership with Securus Risk Advisors, providing levels of support rarely available in Canada.
● Service-led approach - superior broker and client service, from underwriting through to claims.
● Underwriting discipline - a consistent track record of due diligence, technical excellence and superior risk selection.
This formula has made us the go-to market in other regions, and now brokers can leverage this to bring the same level of expertise and service to Canadian clients.

Building Broker Relationships

● Specialist insight to help brokers navigate the complexities of this class
● Flexible, sustainable coverage solutions designed to support client growth
● A trusted underwriting team that values service as much as expertise
For Rokstone, this expansion marks the start of another chapter in our growth story. For our Waste and Recycling division, it is the chance to bring decades of proven expertise to a market that is ready for change.
