We are pleased to share that DesertBoard was recently featured in Khaleej Times (20 May 2025) in an in-depth article titled “DesertBoard: A sustainable solution rooted in the palm groves of the Gulf” authored by Suneeti Ahuja-Kohli.
The feature highlights DesertBoard’s pioneering approach to sustainable manufacturing through the development of Palm Strand Board (PSB®)—DesertBoard’s proprietary engineered wood board made entirely from upcycled palm fronds. The article outlines our journey from concept to commercialisation, the extensive R&D involved, and the environmental benefits of our product, which is carbon negative, formaldehyde-free, and circular by design.
It also reflects on our commitment to supporting the UAE’s sustainability objectives, reducing reliance on imported materials, and promoting local innovation within the construction sector. The article further acknowledges the growing international interest in PSB®, with adoption across major regional developments and expanding export markets.
We are honoured to be recognised by one of the region’s leading publications and remain dedicated to driving positive change in the built environment through sustainable, high-performance materials.
