Nowadays, several materials are used in construction sector. The main aim of this paper is to investigate energy consumptions, CO2 emissions and cost during the production and life-cycle of structural materials (e.g. steel, aluminium, timber, cement, aggregate, waste mineral additives). These materials have different environmental impacts andthe reuse of waste structural materials (e.g. recycled aggregate, steel and aluminium) as well as waste minerals in concrete (fly ash, slag etc) save energy consumption, CO2 emissions and costs. Thus, the importance and effectiveness of recycled materials will be evaluated via energy consumption, carbon footprint, ultimate strength and their ratios. Embodied energy to ultimate strength or embodied carbon to ultimate strength ratios may emphasize the effectiveness ofa sustainable material. The most effective materials in this study indicate the recycled steel and C50 concrete with 50 % fly ash or slag.
