Xeriant, Inc. (OTCQB: XERI) has released an updated 36-page white paper examining the convergence of global plastic and fiber waste, increasing natural disaster risks, and the need for resilient, sustainable construction materials. The paper focuses on the company’s NexBoard building panel and newly introduced NexPatch fire-resistant joint compound, both designed to convert waste into high-performance building materials while supporting safer and more affordable housing.
The white paper highlights NexBoard’s recent third-party fire certification results, including a Class A rating under ASTM E84 and successful completion of the NFPA 286 corner room burn test. These certifications demonstrate the product’s ability to resist flame spread and contribute to fire safety in building assemblies. Additionally, the paper introduces NexPatch, a joint compound that utilizes the same proprietary intumescent technology to provide continuous fire protection across wall and ceiling assemblies.
Xeriant stated that the products have the potential to improve building insurability and reduce insurance costs by lowering fire and water damage risks. By using recycled plastic and fiber waste as raw materials, the company aims to address two pressing challenges: the environmental impact of waste accumulation and the need for disaster-resistant construction in an era of more frequent wildfires and storms.

The white paper comes as the construction industry faces increasing pressure to adopt sustainable practices and improve building resilience. Traditional materials like drywall and plywood are susceptible to fire and water damage, and their production often involves significant carbon emissions. Xeriant’s approach uses waste streams as feedstock, potentially lowering the environmental footprint of building materials while enhancing performance.
NexBoard is a patent-pending composite construction panel made from plastic and fiber waste, designed to replace products such as drywall, plywood, OSB, MDF, and MgO board. The panel’s fire resistance and durability could make it attractive for both new construction and retrofitting in wildfire-prone areas. NexPatch further extends fire protection by sealing joints and gaps, creating a continuous barrier against flames and smoke.
The implications of this announcement extend beyond Xeriant’s product line. If widely adopted, such materials could reduce the volume of plastic waste sent to landfills and incinerators, while simultaneously lowering the economic and human costs of natural disasters. The white paper serves as a resource for architects, builders, and policymakers seeking information on alternative building materials that meet safety standards and sustainability goals.
Xeriant, Inc. is dedicated to discovering, developing, and commercializing transformative technologies, including advanced materials, for multiple industrial sectors. Its advanced materials line is marketed under the DUREVER brand, with NexBoard and NexPatch as key products.
