Nowadays, the age of development materials is decreasing the standard resources which developed a need to find the new capable and useful materials for the improvement work. This paper exhibits the water absorption and sorptivity of sustainable mortar made with Used Foundry Sand (UFS) and Hypo Sludge. Utilized foundry sand generated from metal giving industry. Hypo sludge generated from paper fabricating industry. Use of used foundry sand and paper waste in mortar can be the best course for the utilization of waste in development movement. Used foundry sand is supplanted with the normal sand and Hypo sludge supplanted with cement. The cube of mortar is seen at 7 and 28 days. An average 96 mortar shapes were made and tested at 7 and 28 days of five mortar mix i.e. A (0%), A1 (25%), A2 (50%), A3 (75%), A4 (100%) of used foundry sand was replaced by weight of natural sand and then optimum replacement was taken based on the compressive strength. With the 25% used foundry sand three mortars mixes i.e. B1 (10%), B2 (20%), B3 (30%) of Hypo sludge was replaced by weight of cement. The results exhibited that union of the utilized foundry sand and hypo sludge regards diminish water absorption and sorptivity quality with the age (28 days) in the examination with the consistent standard mortar. In the wake of extending the measure of utilized foundry sand and hypo sludge in a mortar, the water absorption and sorptivity quality show relentless abatement.
