Paper-based materials, engineered for structural applications, are increasingly utilized within the building sector. These materials, composed of multiple layers of paper pulp, are designed to provide strength and rigidity while remaining lightweight. An example includes prefabricated structural panels used in temporary shelters or interior partitioning.
The employment of these materials offers several advantages, including cost-effectiveness, recyclability, and ease of handling. Historically, paper-based construction has been explored in disaster relief housing and as a sustainable alternative to traditional building materials. Their lightweight nature also reduces transportation costs and simplifies on-site assembly.
