The invention relates to a method for preparing an environment-friendly thermal-insulation building block from construction waste, which comprises the following steps: uniformly mixing cement, active mineral admixture, haydite and construction waste in a weight ratio of (8-25):(20-60):(20-45):(8-15), adding water, pulping and stirring for 5-10 minutes, adding a special additive which accounts for 0.8-1.5 wt% of the dry powder, and stirring for 0.5-1 minute; and preparing a slurry, injecting into a specimen mold, standing in a 55 DEG C constant-temperature steam curing chamber, curing for 4 hours, demolding, cutting with a steel wire, sending into an autoclave, heating and pressurizing for 8 hours, and discharging to obtain the thermal-insulation building block. The density of the thermal-insulation building block is 500-700 kg/m<3>, the heat conductivity coefficient is less than or equal to 0.16 W/m.K, and the compression strength is greater than or equal to 5 MPa. By using the construction waste instead of part of the active mineral admixture and the haydite as the component, the method achieves the effects of protecting the environment, enhancing the cyclic utilization efficiency of resources and lowering the cost.
