Abstract
In recent years, the asphalt industry has become increasingly aware of its sustainability impact in surfacing, namely to the three key pillars, being Societal, Economic, and Environmental. This awareness is now driving the leading asphalt companies to research and develop new methods of asphalt creation to make the surfacing industry more sustainable for years to come, particularly as there are both internal and external drivers pushing for a change for the better, categorised thusly as normative, coercive and mimetic. This paper investigates the issues that today’s leading asphalt-producing companies are facing and the solutions that are being adopted by these companies to overcome these challenges. The research methodology used was literature review. Both proven and researched methods were selected to review and examine the factors resulting in sustainable solutions being implemented.
