Correlations were established between mortars properties and the use of different additives. It can be concluded that employed recyclable additives will improve some mortars properties.

Pinecone fragments reduce significantly the capillarity coefficient but also its mechanical properties. The waste glass powder improves the compressive strength of materials and decreases porosity. Mortars with crushed brick waste as aggregate absorb almost twice more water than mortars with sand, this additive can be used as a red dye and has a high resistance in durability tests.

The Pinecone Resin shows an improvement in the durability of the mortars as well as a slight improvement in mechanical properties.

Future works will seek to combine different additives in order to obtain better mortars.

New methods to calculate the life cycle analysis are available with Open LCA methods, We plan to use design models and economic models in order to select the composition of new mortars we want to develop.
