New construction practices in India demands the use of innovative economical, durable & light weightmaterial so that structure will able to resist forces due to earthquake & also act as heatproof material which keeps insideof the premises cool. It has been attempted to replace the soil used in manufacturing conventional bricks with paper pulpobtained from industry. Partial use of the paper waste for brick making will solve environmental degradation and alsowaste disposal problem.Also the paper bricks prepared are light weight and could be used to replace the gypsumpartition walls, cladding work due to its thermal resistance.
