Sustainable Building Panels for Residential and Commercial Construction
Founded in 2000, Agriboard Green Building Systems has pioneered the development of sustainable building materials derived from agricultural by-products. Our patented Agriboard panels offer a structurally robust, eco-friendly alternative for residential, commercial, and industrial construction. With decades of combined leadership experience from our founders Ron and Renae Ryan, we have invested millions in research, testing, and innovation to perfect our straw panel technology. Our products deliver unparalleled thermal efficiency, fire resistance, and durability while eliminating the need for harmful chemicals. By transforming agricultural waste into high-performance building solutions, we reduce environmental impact and provide cost-effective, energy-efficient structures globally.Our commitment to sustainability is underscored by our negative carbon footprint and earthquake-tested durability. We have completed hundreds of projects across the U.S. and internationally, establishing Agriboard as a leader in green construction. Our mission is to revolutionize the building industry through patented technology that benefits homeowners, businesses, and the planet. With mills operating worldwide, we continue to expand our reach while maintaining rigorous quality standards and environmental stewardship.

Agriboard Panels
Agriboard Panels are compressed straw building materials offering structural strength and sustainability. They provide superior thermal insulation, reducing energy costs while maintaining indoor comfort. These panels resist fire, mold, and pests without chemical additives, making them ideal for eco-conscious residential and commercial construction projects seeking LEED certification.
Green Building Systems
Our Green Building Systems utilize agricultural by-products to create carbon-negative structures. The technology combines thermal mass efficiency with rapid installation, reducing construction timelines by 30-50%. These systems meet international sustainability standards while offering earthquake resistance and long-term durability for diverse architectural applications.
Thermal Mass Solutions
Thermal Mass Solutions leverage Agriboard's material properties to maintain stable indoor temperatures. Unlike traditional R-value insulation, our panels absorb and release heat slowly, cutting HVAC costs by up to 40%. This passive climate control system works year-round in residential and commercial buildings across varying climates.
International Mill Licensing
International Mill Licensing enables partners to produce Agriboard panels locally using patented Gen-4 technology. This decentralized manufacturing model reduces transportation emissions while creating regional jobs. Licensees gain access to proprietary equipment, training, and technical support for establishing sustainable production facilities worldwide.
Carbon Sequestration Building
Carbon Sequestration Building solutions lock away atmospheric CO2 through agricultural waste repurposing. Each Agriboard structure stores 1.5 tons of CO2 per cubic meter, creating buildings with negative carbon footprints. This process prevents crop residue burning that contributes to air pollution while delivering durable, code-compliant construction materials.

Questions
What are Agriboard panels made from?
Agriboard panels are made from compressed agricultural by-products like wheat and rice straw, using natural lignin as a binder without added chemicals or adhesives.
How do Agriboard panels improve energy efficiency?
The panels' thermal mass properties absorb and release heat slowly, maintaining stable indoor temperatures and reducing HVAC costs by up to 40% compared to traditional insulation.
Are Agriboard buildings fire resistant?
Yes, our panels are naturally fire resistant due to their dense composition and lack of chemical additives, meeting strict international fire safety standards.
Can Agriboard panels be used internationally?
We license patented Gen-4 mill technology globally, enabling local production in agricultural regions worldwide while maintaining consistent quality and sustainability standards.
How do Agriboard panels help the environment?
Each panel sequesters 1.5 tons of CO2 per cubic meter while repurposing crop waste that would otherwise be burned, creating buildings with negative carbon footprints.
What building codes do Agriboard systems meet?
Our panels meet or exceed international building codes for structural integrity, fire resistance, and energy efficiency, including earthquake testing certifications.
