For a greener and sustainable future we have to develop innovative ways to save fuel and mitigate carbon footprints therefore develop alternative ways by which building materials can be modified. In this study waste paper sludge ash (hypo sludge) was partially replaced as 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% in place of cement in concrete for M-15 mix and tested for its compressive strength, tensile strength, water absorption and weight up to 28 days of age and compared with conventional concrete India is facing a serious challenge in disposing of waste in the many landfills throughout the country that are near or at capacity. The landfill situation is resulting in high disposal costs and potential environmental problems. If current trends continue, with waste production projected to grow by 5% each year, landfills would be at full capacity by 2020. This paper reports on the results of an investigation of utilization of wastepaper as additional materials in concrete mixes to be used for housing projects, for which it must be assured that the resulting concrete has the proper mechanical strength. Concrete mixes containing various contents of the paper were prepared and basic strength characteristics such as compressive strength, splitting tensile, flexural, and water absorption were determined and compared with a control mix.
