I believe papercrete as an infill would pass any code inspection
providing it is anchored to the building and footing/floor/slab in an
acceptable manner, and it could also be accepted as interior non load
bearing partition walls, provided the building that it is being used to
infill would pass building code. I believe with the current Uniform
Building Code its never going to be accepted as a load bearing exterior
wall.
I read a rumor that this new Uniform Building Code will even delete the
use of Adobe in earthquake pron areas of New Mexico, where Adobe and CEB
is now the accepted norm.

In reading a lot of the posts in this forum of late, I seem to see a
lot of people looking for a quick fix. Papercrete is labor intensive but
that is the beauty of it. The material can be had free but for the
expenditure of some time on your part. A lot of our problems in our
current society is the result of the quick fix free ride mentality. If
one is going to build with a lot of concrete which is most definitely
not green, and one is unwilling to expend some time and sweat to make
your own papercrete, then why not just infill with cellulose, foam or
fiberglass insulation?
