Fibre cement sheeting is completely different to papercrete, only similarity is they both have cement in them. The fibres in fibro are now glass fibre, previously asbestos was used (yes, and lots of people are dying from that here in Australia).
It’s dense and produced in a factory so no hope of comparing it to a cellulose based bulk material.

Subject: [papercreters] Re: Is papercrete already mainstream?
Yes - but it does mean standards already exist, and maybe some recipe experimenting/testing could producea mix that meets them. If so, folks are a lot of the way closer to using them with approval for roofing, exterior cladding, interior panels, soffits, probably gutters, and who knows where else. Its a start.
Re obtaining approval for structural use, its useful that its a mainstream and proven product, albeit in a different application.
