Hi all - in doing a bit of research for work I came across this compressed straw board producer in Alberta: [Our Products - Great Plains MDF](https://greatplainsmdf.com/our-products/) This is a great alternative which can effectively sequester carbon from short rotation crops! I wonder what other ag-waste products are available in North America? ---

Hi Will - Very cool! I’ve not heard of Great Plains before. Some others that are worth checking out: [Plantd](https://www.plantdmaterials.com/#product) - a startup based in North Carolina creating board products (think OSB or MDF) from perennial grasses, and with an interesting local economic story in offering an alternative crop to multi-generational tobacco farmers. [TimberHP](https://timberhp.com/products/) - a wood fiber insulation manufacturer based in Maine, aiming to offer board, batt, and fill products using softwood residuals from FSC forests. Happy researching!
