AB One of the main climate trigger are CO2 emissions. In the field of architecture and construction, one of the most harmful materials is the cement due to its employment and its polluting power (about 5 and 8% of the worldwide CO2 emissions). Thus, the search of an alternative material is essential. This paper shows the possibility of using eco-efficient mortars as structural materials, in order to guarantee both safety and environment preservation in the strengthening / refurbishment / retrofitting of structures. In those mortars, the binder can be substituted by organic or inorganic materials (e.g. fly ash, ground granulated blast furnace slag, rice husk ash, palm oil fuel ash). From this strategy, the waste reduction is promoted, as wastes are immobilised without polluting the environment essential. Thus, it is encouraged the re-use of architecture which is an essential factor to get a more sustainable habitat. The obtained results allow setting a guide that makes easier the selection of eco-efficient mortars (guaranteeing both structural safety and environment preservation) to the agents involved in processes of structural works.
