“…Therefore, waste of the pulp and paper industry may be a potential source of recycling to further decrease the environmental impacts by reduction of raw material depletion [25]. For instance, the waste from pulp and paper has been used to improve thermal properties of bricks [26], as admixture for cement composites [27], or as loose-fill insulation material made of milled paper [28].…”

“…Identically to CFs, they increase the yield stress and the plastic viscosity. Finally, it was mentioned that using 0.03% of CFFs, the performances of concrete were favorable for projected concrete applications [34].…”

“…On the other hand, in a recent study, the impact of paper pulp as a VMA in cementbased materials was assessed [34]. Paper pulp, primarily composed of cellulose, differs from conventional VMAs biopolymers due to its insolubility in water, attributed to the dimensions of the fibers in terms of diameter and length.…”

As the construction industry is facing the challenge of meeting the ever-increasing demand for environmentally friendly and durable concrete, the role of viscosity-modifying admixtures (VMAs) has become increasingly essential to improve the rheological properties, stability, and mechanical properties of concrete. Additionally, natural polymers are ever evolving, offering multiple opportunities for innovative applications and sustainable solutions. This comprehensive review delves into the historical context and classifications of VMAs, accentuating their impact in enhancing the rheological properties, stability, and mechanical properties of concrete. Emphasis is placed on the environmental impact of synthetic VMAs, promoting the exploration of sustainable alternatives derived from plant-based biopolymers. Indeed, biopolymers, such as cellulose, starch, alginate, pectin, and carrageenan are considered in this paper, focusing on understanding their efficacy in improving concrete properties while enhancing the environmental sustainability within the concrete.

“…e paper waste can be used in bioplastics [15], asphalt [16] and cement products [17], and adsorbent production [18]. As per the latest study of Karimi et al [19], the paper mass can also be used as a viscosity modifying agent in cement-based materials [20]. Numerous studies are focusing on the energy management [21] and energy efficiency [22] of paper pulpbased products; however, the available literature on using paper waste in the production of concrete products is scarce [23].…”

This study inspects the viability of engaging the discarded paper wastes in concrete by varying the volume proportions from 0%–20% with each 5% increment in replacement of the weight of cement. A physiomechanical study was conducted, and the results were presented. A glass fiber reinforced rectangular slab with a longer span (ly) to shorter span (lx) ratio of (ly: lx) 1.16 was cast with optimum replacement of waste-paper mass and compared the force-deformation characteristics with the conventional concrete slab without waste paper. The optimum percentage of discarded papers for the replacement of cement is 5%. Also, the results imply that the compressive strength at the age of 28 days is 30% improved for the optimum replacement. Based on the outcomes of the investigation, it can be inferred that the compressive strength gets progressively reduced if the volume of the discarded paper gets increases. The incorporation of glass fibers improves the split and flexural strength of the concrete specimens considerably. The ultimate load-carrying capacity of the glass fiber reinforced waste paper incorporated concrete slab measured 42% lower than that of the conventional slab. However, development of the new type of concrete incorporating waste papers is the new trend in ensuring the sustainability of construction materials.
