Abstract
Construction sector is found to be the largest consumer of non-renewable resources at any age of development. Among the total cost of construction, 80% of cost is only due to the construction materials and the rest is due to the hands and brains behind it. In order to reduce the consumption rate of resources, alternative sources of materials are being investigated. With this note, the use of recycled paper in nominal brick began. Among 3.04 trillion trees around the world, 4 billion trees are being consumed for paper each year. i.e.15 full grown trees for a single ton of paper. Recycling of such paper can be done by adding them into the brick by ratio less than 50%. They have good chemical bonding with concrete. While maintaining the strength to the required limit. This concept makes the system more sustainable and cheap to produce.
