Multifunctional performance assessment of waste-based bioplastic wall panels for acoustic thermal and structural efficiency in interior architecture
Hesham H. Awad, Mahmoud Desouki

TL;DR
This paper evaluates bioplastic wall panels made from waste materials for their sound, thermal, and structural performance in interior design.
Contribution
The study introduces waste-based bioplastic wall panels with multifunctional properties for sustainable interior architecture.
Findings
Carpet waste-covered tiles offer sound insulation comparable to laminated gypsum boards.
Linen bark and orange peel configurations show optimal thermal insulation.
The panels have sufficient mechanical strength for non-load-bearing interior use.
Abstract
The study presents a comprehensive evaluation of bioplastic wall cladding units fabricated from organic and plant-based wastes, focusing on their acoustic, mechanical, and thermal performance. The research investigates various configurations, including solid, hollow, and carpet waste-covered tiles, to assess their multifunctional properties. Acoustic testing revealed that carpet waste-covered tiles provide superior sound insulation, achieving performance levels comparable to laminated gypsum boards. Mechanical testing demonstrated sufficient yield strength, flexural strength, and modulus of elasticity, confirming their suitability for non-load-bearing interior applications. Thermal testing highlighted effective insulation capabilities, with linen bark and orange peel configurations showing optimal performance. By integrating recycled materials such as carpet waste, this study addresses…
