Paper waste in Construction Industry

Some types of wastes are recyclable and reusable, of which Paper is one of the kinds. Paper wastes can be used to make Bricks or as partial replacement of cement in concrete. This presentation deals with both these aspects,  Bricks made of paper are made by 80-90% of paper waste and 20-15% of cement , which are moulded and dried.  The bricks, constructed were once used in partition walls and false ceilings and had good results. The bricks are 50% less expensive than the cost of traditional bricks and could lend a hand to the Indian construction sector, which currently has a 30% supply deficit.

In partial replacement of cement in concrete, cement has been replaced by waste paper sludge accordingly in the range of 5% to 20% by weight for M-20 and M-30 mix By using adequate amount of the waste paper pulp and water, concrete mixtures were produced and compared in terms of slump and strength with the conventional concrete. The concrete specimens were tested in three series of test as compression test, splitting tensile test and flexural test. These tests were carried out to evaluate the mechanical properties for up to 28 days. As a result, the compressive, splitting tensile and flexural strength increased up to 10% addition of waste paper pulp and further increased in waste paper pulp reduces the strengths gradually. The research on use of paper sludge can be further carried out in concrete manufacturing as a new recycled material.
