The use of cement in construction activities encourages cement production, which in turn contributes to carbon dioxide, CO2 emission. CO2 is the primary greenhouse gas in the atmosphere that is responsible for global warming. Apart from that, every year over 100 million tons of textile waste are being incinerated or dumped in landfills around the world. The fast fashion in the clothing industry leads to the mass production of clothes, which contributes to an increase in textile waste ending up in landfills. In this research project, environmentally friendly mortar samples were produced by incorporating cotton textile waste ash (CTWA) as partial replacement of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) at varying percentages of 0.1%, 0.5%, 1% and 2%.
