ABSTRACT
The sole purpose of this study is to recycle the paper wastes into plaster mortar that can be used for construction purposes, decoration pieces. The waste paper was collected from the block of an institution UET Taxila. Waste generation of the waste paper was calculated the paper waste was then characterized and the components present in t...

Significant amounts of rock dust with a grain size similar to cement are generated during aggregate dedusting in the production of mineral-asphalt masses. These wastes are collected in tanks or silos and must be managed in such a way as not to generate costs related to disposal. On the other hand, the use of natural resources must be reduced in the...

... Making paper plaster creates a large quantity of wastewater, whose components and environmental hazards have been studied by Allikvee [15]. Using paper waste in making plaster mortar is not only useful for the environment by helping to reduce the pollution but is also cost-effective [16]. ...
This article deals with the reuse of wastepaper. Three components were used to make traditional paper plaster: wastepaper, glue, and water. Whether the glues used to make paper plaster and the quantities of those glues have an impact on the moisture buffering value (MBV) of paper plaster was studied. The scope of the Nordtest method is to evaluate the MBV for materials exposed to indoor air. The test intended to simulate daily variations with relative humidity between 75 % during 8 hours and 33 % during 16 hours.
The test specimen was made according to the recipe which contained the following: waste-paper (newspaper paper), three different types of glue (potato starch ( Amylum Solani ) C 6 H 10 O 5 , wallpaper glue Metylan Universal Premium (produced by Henkel), and methylcellulose C 6 H 7 O 2 (OH) x (OCH 3 ) y , and water. Different percentages of glue were used in the specimens. Potato starch ( Amylum Solani ) C 6 H 10 O 5 clearly increased the moisture buffering ability.
The tests performed showed that the composition and quantity of glue affected the MBV of paper plaster. The MBV of all the specimens remained in the range of 2.08–2.48 [g/(m ² ·%RH)@8/16h]. The largest MBV was 2.48[g/(m ² ·%RH)@8/16h], and it was registered in the case of a mixture that had a glue made from 100 g of potato starch ( Amylum Solani ) C 6 H 10 O 5 per litre of water and the smallest MBV was 2.08[g/(m ² ·%RH)@8/16h], and it contained glue mixture made of 20 g methylcellulose per litre of water. As a result of the current study, an environmentally friendly plaster with high moisture buffer value using wastepaper as a component of this material was developed.
