This paper provides a comprehensive review of innovations in advanced materials for sustainable construction, highlighting their environmental benefits. Advanced materials such as high-performance concrete, green composites, and recycled polymers are discussed, emphasizing their role in reducing environmental impact and enhancing structural performance. High-performance concrete, enriched with advanced admixtures and supplementary cementitious materials, offers superior strength and durability while minimizing resource consumption. Green composites, composed of natural fibers and bio-based resins, provide sustainable alternatives with reduced carbon footprints. Recycled polymers derived from post-consumer waste contribute to circular economy principles and help mitigate plastic pollution. The environmental benefits of these materials include reduced raw material extraction, lower energy consumption, and decreased greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, the extended service life and reduced maintenance requirements of structures built with these materials further contribute to a more sustainable construction industry. The integration of advanced materials in sustainable construction not only improves structural performance but also aligns with global efforts to minimize the ecological footprint of the built environment. This review serves as a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers seeking insights into the latest innovations and environmental advantages of advanced materials in sustainable construction.This paper provides a comprehensive review of innovations in advanced materials for sustainable construction, highlighting their environmental benefits.
