DesertBoard®, known as the manufacturer of the region’s most sustainable building material – Palm Strand Board (PSB)—participated in Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week (ADSW) 2025, a prestigious global platform supported by the UAE and its clean energy leader, Masdar.
Held from January 14 to 16 at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC), ADSW brought together over 50,000 participants and 1,000 global delegates from 175 countries, addressing the world’s most pressing sustainability challenges.
DesertBoard® showcased its diverse product line of PSB® boards, which are manufactured from locally sourced and annually regenerated palm frond biomass. These boards align seamlessly with the UAE’s Net Zero 2050 Strategic Initiative, the goals of the Paris Agreement, and the UAE Consensus reached at COP28.
Engineered for the future of sustainable construction, PSB® boards offer:
- Zero formaldehyde emissions for improved indoor air quality.
- Fire resistance for up to 90 minutes, in compliance with EN-1634-1 (European standard for fire resistance), BS-476 (British standard for fire tests on building materials and structures), and UL-10C (American standards for fire tests of door assemblies).
- Acoustic insulation for a quieter environment.
- High durability and moisture resistance to withstand challenging conditions.
During the event, DesertBoard® engaged with builders, architects, engineers, and designers to highlight how PSB® boards are transforming construction practices by reducing the carbon footprint of projects while supporting the global shift toward eco-friendly development.
“Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week, being a global platform, enabled us to educate the masses about PSB boards’ potential to meet the needs of the construction, engineering, landscaping, interior design, events, and exhibitions industries,” said Mr. Kamal Farah, Director at DesertBoard®.
DesertBoard®’s participation in ADSW 2025 reaffirms its commitment to advancing sustainable construction and supporting the UAE’s industrial diversification strategy.
