Paper-mache is biodegradable, meaning that it will decompose and have no negative impacts on the environment. Other than that property, paper mache does not seem to be in any other way helpful to the environment, as it is aesthetically displeasing to look at, and is not a strong building material nor a reliable one, as it "melts" in water like cardboard.
