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 the block was mainly A4 paper. This waste paper was generally collected to make plaster mortar. This was done by different methods that includes the mixing of cement, sand and waste paper by hand mixing and hand shredding, and machine mixing and machine shredding. Different blocks was formed by both methods and tests were performed that shows machine mixing and machine shredding method is better than manual shredding and mixing. The compressive strength of the waste paper plaster mortar was greater than
that of the conventional mortar. Along with that, waste paper plaster mortar proves to be more cost efficient too.
KEYWORDS: Paper waste, recycling need, waste management, plaster mortar by paper wastes,
