“…In their study, the compression strength of MBCs from corn husks and L. sajor-caju was approximately 870 kPa. The obtained results aligned with the outcomes of many previous studies that found that paper waste influenced compression strength in many types of composite materials [ 26 , 27 , 65 ]. In this study, it was discovered that adding paper waste into corn husk gave the obtained MBCs a greater strength.…”

“…In this study, it was discovered that adding paper waste into corn husk gave the obtained MBCs a greater strength. This is because adding paper waste to the substrate increases the amount of cellulose fibers, which is a substance with high strength and stiffness that enables the reinforcement of matrix materials [24][25][26][27]66]. At the same time, the compression strength of MBCs made from sawdust was decreased as a result of Although MBC materials still exhibit higher water absorption than conventional materials like synthetic foams and some wood-based products, using this material for interior decoration may not have any effect on its properties.…”

“…Several previous studies have utilized paper waste to improve the qualities of various composite materials because cellulose fibers are known for their high strength and stiffness. When these cellulose fibers are mixed into composite materials, they can reinforce the matrix material [ 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 ].…”

The growing demand for environmentally friendly and sustainable materials has led to the invention of innovative solutions aiming to reduce negative impacts on the environment. Mycelium-based green composites (MBCs) have become an alternative to traditional materials due to their biodegradability and various potential uses. Although MBCs are accepted as modern materials, there are concerns related to some of their physical and mechanical properties that might have limitations when they are used. This study investigates the effects of using paper waste to improve MBC properties. In this study, we investigated the physical and mechanical properties of MBCs produced from lignocellulosic materials (corn husk and sawdust) and mushroom mycelia of the genus Lentinus sajor-caju TBRC 6266, with varying amounts of paper waste added. Adding paper waste increases the density of MBCs. Incorporating 20% paper waste into corn husks led to the enhancement of the compression, bending, and impact strength of MBCs by over 20%. Additionally, it was also found that the MBCs produced from corn husk and 10% paper waste could help in reducing the amount of water absorbed into the material. Adding paper waste to sawdust did not improve MBC properties. At the same time, some properties of MBCs, such as low tensile strength and high shrinkage, might need to be further improved in the future to unlock their full potential, for which there are many interesting approaches. Moreover, the research findings presented in this publication provide a wealth of insightful information on the possibility of using paper waste to improve MBC performance and expand their suitability for a range of applications in sustainable packaging materials and various home decorative items. This innovative approach not only promotes the efficient utilization of lignocellulosic biomass but also contributes to the development of environmentally friendly and biodegradable alternatives to traditional materials.

The development of new construction materials is a crucial issue in the building construction industry, as it is one of the most energy and resource-intensive industries. Paper has played a significant role in daily activities since its creation. a wide range of applications thanks to its adaptable qualities. Paper waste can be found in a variety of places, including newspapers, offices and schools. Paper waste is a rich source of fibre and can be utilised as a building material. Utilization of paper wastes can help to reduce pollution and waste in the environment. The purpose of this review study is to highlight and examine some current studies that look into the potential applications of post-consumer paper waste in concrete specimens. The review had been conducted on the research paper between the year 2010 till 2023, paper waste does have potential to be incorporated with cement-based material with the right formulation and percentages. This review data focused on the mechanical properties of concrete.

“…Also, composite ceilings capable of improving thermal insulation performance in buildings have been produced by utilizing waste newspapers with plaster of Paris [5] or coconut husks [3]. Again, incorporation of waste paper (either by addition, substitution, or replacement) with fine aggregate, coarse aggregate, or cement brings about increase in mechanical properties of concrete [6,7]. Not only that, Mitikie and Waldtsadik [8], Subanndi [9], Meko and Ighalo [10], and Azar et al [11] reported that improvement in compressive strength of concrete is possible by inclusion of waste paper ash as a partial cement replacement material.…”

The literature is flooded with scientific information on most durability properties except water absorption coefficient of masonry units like sandcrete blocks. Also, while waste papers disposal is a systemic problem due to ineffectiveness of waste management system in developing countries, the price of cement is on the increase. This situation, ultimately, causes a bane in achievement of low-cost housing development considering the fact that sandcrete blocks are predominantly used as walling elements for such undertakings. In this study, solid core sandcrete blocks were produced with waste paper ash (WPA) utilized as partial replacement of cement at 5 % and 10 % volumetric levels. Chemically, the WPA was found to show similarity with cement in terms of SiO2, Al2O3, and CaO contents. Density and water absorption coefficient of the block samples were determined. While density ranged from 1682 to 1872 kg/m3, water absorption coefficient varied from 27.04 to 23.49 kg/m2h0.5. Statistically, no significant difference was revealed at p < 0.05 between experimentally-measured water absorption coefficients and those obtained using the model developed for prediction based on density of the samples. Thus, utilization of WPA as described herein could help to reduce the cost of procuring cement and in turn, enhance low-cost building construction. Also, with the developed model (showing dependence of water absorption coefficient on density), durability of sandcrete blocks exposed to moisture –prone environment could be easily predicted.
