Electronics devices that facilitate our daily life are rapidly reaching into almost every area of our lives nowadays. Wireless communication using electromagnetic waves is preferred rather than wired communication due to the physical hardship in communication of these devices with each other. Electromagnetic waves provide communication between transmitter and receiver and also reach to unintended targets except receiver. If electromagnetic wave reaches an electronics circuit, it will cause the formation of undesired parasitic currents and the destruction of electronic circuits defined as electromagnetic interference. If electromagnetic wave reaches the tissue environment, it will change the structure and arrangement of cells at the molecular level depending on the wave frequency and power. As a result of long term exposure, it may cause cancer and its derivatives in living organism due to changes in cell structure. As seen in the electromagnetic studies, it may cause irreversible damage to living organism exposed to electromagnetic waves. Therefore, the study carried out will have an effect especially protection of living species against the electromagnetic wavelength's harmful effects. In this study, it is aimed to be performed of the mineral doped waste paper-based board design which will absorb electromagnetic waves that imposed nowadays in any environment. Experimental results show that electromagnetic shielding effectiveness of waste paper fibers with mineral powders (BaSO4, C, Fe2O3) is acceptable levels.
