Oriented strand board (OSB) is replacing plywood, especially for timber framed houses and in the packaging industry with efficiency and sustainability. OSB is used instead of cement-based building materials reducing carbon emission. To produce oriented strand board, logs are sliced into long chips called strands. These are laid in perpendicular layers and bonded using resin. The result is a strong board that resists moisture, giving it a high load capacity. Thus OSB is strong yet flexible.
