I live in a housing cooperative (BRF) in a 1930s building in central Stockholm.
On the ground floor, we have a garbage room, or rather first a short and wide corridor, and at the end of this, to the left, there is the former bulk waste room, which now houses food waste, and straight ahead the garbage room, where household waste tumbles down from the garbage chutes into the intended container.
The walls in this entire area are very damaged and dirty, and we are considering how we could fix it up in a good way.
I think that the walls need to be covered with something very durable, partly because it can be quite rough when those responsible for changing the containers do so. The containers bump into the walls, resulting in various small holes everywhere.
Ideally, we would find something to cover the walls with that is both impact-resistant and can withstand occasional scrubbing.
I assume the material in the walls is painted concrete.
It shouldn't be too expensive, and it would be great if it is something that the members can help put up themselves.

Formplyfa?
Or yellow agricultural plywood, it is lighter and nicer than formplyfa but is still durable and coated with thick film, commonly used in types of barns and potato storage, I find it easier to work with than minerit and should be a reasonable alternative instead of covering the walls with sheet metal.S Stefan1972 said:

Fiber cement boards, such as Cembrit Multi Force, are quite common wall materials in garbage rooms or other high-wear areas. I have installed it myself on the workshop ceiling instead of plaster.
We have it, it's great. Easy to install too with screws. Basically, galvanized sheet metal would also do if they are better priced.O said:
