DesertBoard, the manufacturer of the region’s sustainable building material, Palm Strand Board (PSB®), is excited to participate in the Dubai Dates Festival 2025, hosted by the Hamdan Bin Mohammed Heritage Centre. The event will be held from July 25 to August 1, 2025, daily from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM, at Qalaat Al Remaal, Dubai–Al Ain Road.
The Dubai Dates Festival is a vibrant celebration of the UAE’s cultural heritage, placing a spotlight on the historic and agricultural significance of the date palm tree—a symbol deeply rooted in the identity of the region. The event brings together farmers, innovators, artisans, and visitors to experience the enduring value of the palm, not just as a source of food, but as a legacy of resilience, sustainability, and innovation.
In line with this theme, DesertBoard invites all visitors to explore its dedicated stall, where the story of innovation and environmental responsibility comes to life. DesertBoard has pioneered a groundbreaking solution by transforming agricultural byproducts into high-performance, eco-friendly engineered wooden boards, offering a sustainable alternative to conventional wood-based materials.
“As the manufacturer of this regionally developed product, we see the palm tree not just as a symbol of the past, but as a key to a more sustainable future,” said Mr. Kamal Farah, Director at DesertBoard. “Participating in the Dubai Dates Festival allows us to honour the cultural legacy of the palm tree while demonstrating how its byproducts can drive sustainable manufacturing. It’s about transforming tradition into innovation—supporting the environment, empowering local industries, and shaping a greener future for the region.”
DesertBoard’s participation underscores the key initiative towards circular economy practices, local manufacturing, and the valorisation of indigenous resources. Visitors to the stall can explore PSB® product samples and engage with experts passionate about sustainable design and production.
DesertBoard’s PSB® offers versatile applications, making it an ideal solution for developers, engineers, contractors, and architects looking to build responsibly. Whether used in interior fit-outs, wall partitions, furniture, or cabinetry, PSB® wooden boards combine sustainability with performance to meet the evolving demands of modern construction and design.
Join us in celebrating the timeless legacy of the palm tree through technology, innovation, and eco-conscious manufacturing.
