The main objective of study is to present a summary to the best practical applications and recent investigation results on how to reduce environmental effect of carbon dioxide emissions CO2 in flexibly pavement materials, including extraction of virgin materials, heating material, hauling of materials from quarry to the asphalt plant and then to paving place, mix design. Another production techniques for the manufacturing of modified mixes such as warm mix asphalt (WMA), cold mix asphalt (CMA) and reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) mixes are included in this summary. Additionally, assessment tools of life cycle involved, economic and environmental effects, and long-term performance of modified mixes have also been highlight ted in this study. Sustainability gains had showed this study involved a reduction of fuel use, reducedCO2emissions in several stage of HMA production, and possible of using RAP and WAM mixes.
