The particle board has a density in the range of 600-900 kg/m and exhibits inherent resistance to fungal and insect attack. The binder is preferably melamine formaldehyde used in an amount of 30% to 60% by weight based on the weight of particles. The method comprises cleaning, drying, and blending the biomass to obtain particles, blending the particles with the binder to form a monolayered or multilayered mat, and hot pressing at 140 C to 180 C. The particle board is suitable for interior construction panels, furniture, modular housing, prefabricated building systems, and thermal and acoustic insulation, supporting sustainable and circular-economy construction."
