ABSTRACT: This paper discusses the growing role of admixtures in sustainability of concrete construction. Focusing on the most relevant types of cement and concrete admixtures, it shows how such products have a direct/indirect impact on the main sustainability criteria, first in their manufacture (use of biodegradable raw materials, conception of environmentally-friendly admixtures), then in their use (improvement of health & safety, environmental and durability aspects). Recent attempts to design and compute the global contribution of admixtures in concrete sustainability are finally described
