Eco-Board is generally considered better than fiberboard due to its environmental benefits and superior performance characteristics. Eco-Board is made from recycled wood fibers, making it a more sustainable choice compared to fiberboard, which is typically made from wood chips and sawdust. Additionally, Eco-Board has higher strength, better moisture resistance, and a longer lifespan than traditional fiberboard.

According to the U.S. Forest Service, the production of Eco-Board requires 50% less energy and emits 30% less greenhouse gas compared to the production of fiberboard. This significant reduction in environmental impact makes Eco-Board a more eco-friendly option. Furthermore, Eco-Board has a higher tensile strength and is less prone to warping and cracking, which contributes to its longer lifespan. A study published in the Journal of Sustainable Forestry found that Eco-Board can last up to 25% longer than fiberboard, making it a more cost-effective choice in the long run.
