DesertBoard® is thrilled to be featured in Construction Week for our groundbreaking work with Palm Strand Board (PSB®), an eco-friendly material made from the region’s abundant palm fronds. In the article titled “How Palm-Based Waste Could Reshape the GCC’s Construction Sector,” DesertBoard®’s efforts to provide a sustainable, carbon-negative alternative to traditional building materials are highlighted, showcasing how upcycled palm fronds are revolutionising the construction industry.
The article delves into how PSB® boards are not only environmentally responsible but also versatile and strong, with applications ranging from cladding to fire-rated doors, wall partitions, and shuttering boards. It also discusses how DesertBoard®’s pioneering innovation supports the UAE’s Net Zero 2050 vision and aligns with regional sustainability goals. The benefits of using locally sourced palm fronds include reducing import dependency, stabilising supply chains, and contributing to a circular economy.
