Abstract – A large number of non-renewable resources are used by the construction industry worldwide.. This paper describes the various aspects of use of paperwaste in producing bricks and wall panels. The construction industry has been known as one of the largest consumers of nonrenewable resources. On the opposite hand, greater waste paper finally ends up in landfill or unload paperwaste sites than the ones recycled. Consequently, recycling waste paper to be used as a production fabric constitutes a step in the direction of sustainable development. The reason of this studies is to decide the weight, compressive strength, water absorption capacity, heat resistance, hardness and so on of papercrete brick with the aid of using the use of waste papers (newspapers, invitation cards, magazines and so on.) Papercrete will offer a way to treat trash paper into a good use of creating inexpensive brick walls, wall membranes that are quite strong, high sound adsorption, well insulated and also provides good aesthetical appearance as well. The high volume of concrete offers a complete solution to the problems which meets the increasing demands for concrete in the future in a sustainable manner and with reduced cost.
Key words: Papercrete Hollow Block, Waste Paper, Low Cost Material, Light Weight Material.
