Hello All,
I am researching different papercrete mixtures and the potential use next to walling material. I did some fire testing in my backyard and was able to do some preure tests at the labrotory of my uni.
But one question still sits in my head.
I wounder of economical friendly papercrete is in the end of its life. When a building is demolished we have a large quantity of cellulose fibers locked in cement. Can this be re-used some way? I think that the cement would give a to alkali enviroment for plant growth, so the cellulose of the pc cannot be used to fertilize plants.
Where I life, the Netherlands, a large paper recycling industry is available, where paper is re-used many times before it looses its value trough shortend fibre length. ( and then is also not usable anymore for pc)
Is this different from the US. As I read that paper otherwise goes to a landfill.
I like the material allot but I cannot find any Critical statments regarding the end of life of the material.
A discussion about this would be greatly appriciated.
best regards
Chris
