Abstract;Cell Mold, a new buffer material, was produced from waste paper as an alternative material of styrene foam (EPS) molding for the purpose of environmental conservation, environmental loading reduction, and resource conservation. This material was designed to have high functions and performance and to save energy and resource, considering the influence of disposal on the environment. As points of development, the following were achieved: reusing of waste paper, easy waste disposal, recycling, absorption of impact, excellent damping characteristics, environmental conservation, environmental loading reduction, production at compact facility, and high productivity. Waste paper is disentangled to the fibrous form by an unraveling machine, and is kneaded after empty capsids (acrylic resin) and starch are added. The material is filled in a metal mold and molded by steam heating.
