The study is based on the tests carried out on Papercrete to know about its properties. The investigations show that the Papercrete can be used as a very good supplement of wood as it has strengths comparable to wood. Papercrete is an experimental material which replaces an amount of cement with paper in the normal concrete mix. The total weight, cost and CO emissions during its production as compared to the normal concrete are considerably reduced. It has 2 been seen that Papercrete is a lightweight material which is 10 times lighter than the normal concrete with excellent heat and acoustic insulation properties. Weight of 1 mix of Papercrete 60:20:20 was found to be as low as 2600 g in comparison to 26000 g of concrete cube. It has been seen that Papercrete is very workable and can be formed into different shapes such as blocks, panels and sheets with ease. The study has concluded that the dried Papercrete has a rough surface which increases its surface area and provides a very strong bond from one block to the next. There are significant challenges in constructing with Papercrete but also opportunities. Deep knowledge in material properties and long term liability advances in processing and building aspects combined with future material technology can bring Papercrete closer to standardization. This work is based on conducting different experimental tests on various ratios of Papercrete in order to determine its behavior as a building material. The possibilities of its uses in construction have also been determined from the study of these properties.
