The invention discloses a process method for making a building material from straw fiber and pulp. A formula of the building material comprises the following components in percentage by mass: 60 to 80 percent of plant fiber, 5 to 15 percent of talcum powder, 5 to 15 percent of magnesium oxide and 5 to 15 percent of a modifying agent, wherein the modifying agent is composed of the following components in percentage by mass: 10 percent of sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate, 30 percent of powdered activated carbon, 40 percent of pulping black liquor, 10 percent of sodium silicate and 10 percent of liquid paraffin. The straw fiber or the pulp serves as raw materials, and by utilizing the reduction characteristic of lignin, a produced building material product does not contain formaldehyde and any colloid, is non-toxic, tasteless, radiation-free, water-proof, damp-proof, fire-proof, sound-proof, thermally insulated, acid-base-resistant, ageing-resistant and moth-proof, and has the advantages of light weight, high strength, low cost and environmental protection.
