Startup company Plantd produces wood panels for construction using fast-growing grass instead of trees. This results in lighter, faster-to-produce panels that are as strong as wood, while also reducing cost and increasing sustainability.

The goal of Plantd is to create a more affordable and eco-friendly solution for building houses.
