Re: [papercreters] how to recycle papercrete?

Actually, I recycle papercrete all the time. Broken panels, dried spills, cut offs, all go into the mixer. That swirling blade turns them into pulp just fine, and I think the mix is smoother than with all "new" paper. No waste, no way!

We all know that papercrete is by nature almost all recycled material-  but are they're anyways to recycle papercrete? We've seen from tests  here that it can be left outside a number of years without degrading,  it cant be burned, when exposed to water and freezing it doesnt crack  like traditional concrete. It cant be melted down and reused like  plastics, glass, and metal. You can recycle concrete by grinding it up  and using it as the aggrivate for new concrete- but this doesnt seem  like it would work with papercrete. Anyone have any insight?
