Built using processed perennial grass, the material is said to be lighter and stronger as compared to traditional timber boards, but will capture more carbon. The firm says that the material is a \u201cblend of fast-growing perennial grasses\u201d, that they hope will be used as an alternative to traditional oriented strand board (OBS). OBS is a material similar to plywood that is used to sheath floors and walls.<\/p>\n<p>Designer: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.plantdmaterials.com\/\">Plantd Materials<\/a><\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-419450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/02\/plantd\/plantd_material_yanko_design_02.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1338\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/02\/05\/this-new-carbon-negative-material-made-using-processed-grass-is-meant-to-replace-traditional-osb-boards\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This new carbon negative material made using processed grass is meant to replace traditional OSB boards\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/02\/plantd\/plantd_material_yanko_design_02.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-419450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/02\/plantd\/plantd_material_yanko_design_02.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1338\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/02\/05\/this-new-carbon-negative-material-made-using-processed-grass-is-meant-to-replace-traditional-osb-boards\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This new carbon negative material made using processed grass is meant to replace traditional OSB boards\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/02\/plantd\/plantd_material_yanko_design_02.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-3\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0648786275385337\" data-ad-slot=\"6683677248\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width=\"\"><\/p>\n<div overflow=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\" type=\"303eb33989545a4cd6ed8d28-text\/javascript\"><\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"303eb33989545a4cd6ed8d28-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Plantd Materials developed a collection of machinery that utilizes heat and pressure to press the shredded grass into panels. They can produce standard four-by-eight-foot (1.2 by 2.4 meter) panels that are created using 50 pounds (22.6 kilograms) of grass.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDuring the pandemic, quality was going down, prices were going up, supply was obviously constrained and I really started thinking a lot more about sustainable materials as an opportunity. We had this frame in mind to aspire to gigaton scale carbon capture, to be able to lock something away for 100 years,\u201d said Plantd co-founder Josh Dorfman.

Medium-sized OBS mills require 140 to 150,000 acres of managed timberland to function, whereas mills that utilize perennial grass need only 15 to 20,000 acres. \u201cSo it creates an opportunity to capture more carbon using less land, and because it regrows on the same land year after year to be able to do it much faster. On a per acre for a perennial grass, you will get a yield that can be roughly seven to eight times more per acre than with managed timberland,\u201d continued Dorfman.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-419452\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/02\/plantd\/plantd_material_yanko_design_06.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"721\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/02\/05\/this-new-carbon-negative-material-made-using-processed-grass-is-meant-to-replace-traditional-osb-boards\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This new carbon negative material made using processed grass is meant to replace traditional OSB boards\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/02\/plantd\/plantd_material_yanko_design_06.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-419452\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/02\/plantd\/plantd_material_yanko_design_06.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"721\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/02\/05\/this-new-carbon-negative-material-made-using-processed-grass-is-meant-to-replace-traditional-osb-boards\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This new carbon negative material made using processed grass is meant to replace traditional OSB boards\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/02\/plantd\/plantd_material_yanko_design_06.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-4\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0648786275385337\" data-ad-slot=\"1017606968\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width=\"\"><\/p>\n<div overflow=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\" type=\"303eb33989545a4cd6ed8d28-text\/javascript\"><\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"303eb33989545a4cd6ed8d28-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Besides being stronger and lighter than timber, custom machines used in the process will be energy efficient and will run completely on electricity. \u201cTwenty-five percent of a tree is burned in the mill along with natural gas to dry out the remainder of the tree. We bypass that process in the way that we produce. And so by moving to 100 percent electric, it enables us to really get these tremendous gains in terms of carbon efficiency,\u201d said Dorfman.\u00a0 The grass panels will be treated with flame retardant using a process that is quite similar to the one used in standard energy.
