I'm looking for a disposable display screen.

I'm looking for a disposable display screen.  Something made of plastic or
paper that can be thrown away after use.  Ideally it would come on a roll
like butcher paper where you could take off as many feet as you needed.  I
think a plastic or paper roll that was black on one side and matt white on
the other would work for this.  It would be nice if the width was 6 to 8
feet.  Anyone know of anyone who makes a product that would work for this?

Anything with optimum reflectivity would I suspect be prohibitively
expensive.  But the background rolls used in photographic studios are
available in white.

I don't know where you are located, but here's a British supplier

A black backing wouldn't make the white side any more reflective.   Is
there an issue with visibility from the rear?

The screen might be used outdoors when it's not completely dark or even
during the daytime.  I didn't want light from the rear side coming through
the screen and washing out the image.
