Agri-food waste represents a serious problem that can be overcome by converting it into added-value material for the production of plasters green building; in fact, used as reinforcement additive building industry. In this study, performance gypsum-based with pistachio shell additives was evaluated. Before being plasters, shells were ground at three different grain sizes order to verify how size influences material. Tests then carried out on all produced mortars evaluate their chemical and physical characteristics, interesting results regarding mechanical resistance some materials obtained. The showed addition improved cases best water absorption capillarity achieved 0.5–2 mm size, while thermal conductivity 2–4 size. Summarizing, obtained granulometry mm, sand, water/gypsum ratio 0.86–0.74.
