Desert Board: Leading the World in Sustainable Palm Strand Board Manufacturing

Introduction to Desert Board Located in KIZAD, Abu Dhabi, Desert Board stands as the first manufacturer of Palm Fronds Oriented Strand Board (PSB) globally. Established with an innovative approach, the company repurposes 15% of the UAE’s 500,000 tons of palm waste materials—previously destined for landfills—into functional, eco-friendly building materials. With a manufacturing facility covering 56,000 m², Desert Board produces up to 2.2 million boards annually, offering sustainable solutions for a wide range of industries.

Commitment to Sustainability At Desert Board, sustainability is at the core of everything we do. Our pioneering efforts have led to the creation of the world’s first Palm Strand Board made from locally sourced palm tree fronds. By turning palm waste into a reliable, durable, and cost-effective building material, Desert Board helps minimize environmental impact and promote the circular economy.

In 2021, Desert Board marked a significant milestone by producing the first-ever Oriented Strand Board from Date Palm Fronds, setting a new standard for sustainable practices in the construction and manufacturing industries.
