A research was done on the possibility to use wood ahs remaining after burning wood chips. Usually those are deposited in the waste polygon or are used in agriculture. Principe of cleaner production was applied to factory concrete blocks manufacturing. The chemical composition of the ash is similar to composition of cement. In the course of work, a scheme of concrete production using wood ash was presented. Wood ash can replace cement by 10 – 40 %. In the course of work economic analysis was applied too.
