Desert Board Manufactures Sustainable And Formaldehyde-free PSBs

It is one of the most sustainably engineered wooden boards in the world that are naturally produced from the desert.

Kamal Farah, a member of the board of directors at Desert Board said, “Not only does the factory contribute to the local manufacturing economy, but it also helps in achieving the region’s sustainability and circular economy goals and further offers the region the opportunity to source a locally available, economical, sustainable, and high-strength board”.

The report mentioned, PSBs can be used for interiors, construction, packaging, transport, and housebuilding industries, as well as in DIY and home improvement projects.

Talking about the raw material used for the board Farah said, “our boards are proudly made in the UAE, using the palm frond waste that accumulates annually from trimming palm trees. The technique of utilising this waste has been engineered from the ground up to work with the special nature of the palm waste”.

Desert Boards perform daily tests in their in-house laboratory to ensure that their boards meet the highest standards.

“First, by collecting the waste materials and turning it into a beneficial product that helps the region, we are reducing the burden on local waste management facilities, If the end user wants to discard our board they can be collected, reprocessed, and turned into new boards again, thus contributing to the circular economy”, stated Farah

Being sustainable was goal from the beginning for Desert Boards.

To make sure that the manufacturing process is sustainable, their production process utilises multiple energy sources.

They use the dust generation throughout the process for fuel, therefore reducing their burden on the local electricity grid they have also installed a water recycling facility that helps keep the plant efficient to minimise their impact on the environment.
