More than 50 years ago a work “Silent Spring” was published. For the first time, it brought environmental pollution problems to attention of mainstream public. Nowadays preservation of environment is one of the main subjects for studies. In order to limit the levels of emissions, firstly, the dilution strategy and external cleaning technologies were implemented for industry. Currently, stricter environmental regulations are introduced and prices for energy and raw materials are growing, therefore, only way how to remain competiveness is to integrate methodology of cleaner production. A cleaner production is provision of services and production of goods with minimal impact on the environment in boundaries of existing technological and economic possibilities. Based on the State Environmental Service data on polluting permits of B category for the sector of chemical industry, on 21 st February 2012, 133 permits in total were issued, where 14 % of them accounted for the asphalt industry. The aim of the research is to review possibilities of implementation of cleaner production for asphalt pavement industry. Only production of bitumen-bound asphalt layers is considered in this study.
