DesertBoard is the manufacturer of the region’s most sustainable building material, Palm Strand Board (PSB®), crafted from annually regenerated date palm biomass. Founded in 2011, the company was driven by the ambitious vision of transforming abundantly available raw materials into innovative and sustainable solutions.
With the region's vast date palm groves, substantial quantities of palm biomass are generated each year, which, if left to decompose, would emit harmful methane gas, and if incinerated, it releases CO2 - both major contributors to climate change.
DesertBoard addresses this environmental challenge by upcycling palm biomass using a patented process, becoming the world’s first factory to produce a Super E0 (zero-emission) grade panel, equivalent in strength to Oriented Strand Board 3 & Oriented Strand Board 4.
