Why do you shred paper? I have build a towmixer and i can put almost anything in it(cardboard boxes and whole newspapers) without shredding it so it seems like a waist of time to shred the paper?
About the strength of the papercrete, i would be nice to see some test of pc made from different kind of paper/cardboard.
