Papercrete And Me

Use recycled paper to build an energy efficient papercrete house.

GERMAN SCHOOLCHILDREN BUILD A PAPERCRETE HOUSE

I got an email yesterday from a teacher in Germany who has been working on a papercrete house with his primary school children. Hans, the teacher first learned of papercrete at the Hannover EXPO 2000 and thought it would be a great thing for his students to try. His school of about 200 students emphasizes a curriculum teaching an environmentally friendly lifestyle including recycling. I’ve asked Hans to keep in touch with updates and more pictures which I will share here.

As you can see, these kids take their project very seriously. They are doing a beautiful job on their house.

Who makes a house out of paper? Judith does! I have been working and refining my formula and methods for about 4 years now and do believe papercrete is the best material for building with. It is low cost, uses recycled materials, has a high R value, is easy to make and work with, and really lets your creativity come alive. I am a single 60 year old woman living in the beautiful high desert of northern New Mexico. I love what I'm doing and want to share it with everyone.
