Abstract: The aim of this paper is to present by way of using a case study the on-going situation relating to the implementation of sustainable development within the area of metallurgical waste transport. A variety of activities have been undertaken within the area of metallurgy aiming at implementing sustainable development, especially through reducing the negative influence of the waste generated therein onto the natural environment. The most crucial changes relate to technological processes employed at the production stage; however, much is also done within the area of transport. The issue presented in the title of the paper will be discussed on the example of X enterprise, which deals in metallurgical waste processing. As far as technology in concerned, the enterprise in question implements innovative and environment friendly waste management methods. The considerations shall commence with addressing the question how the persons managing the company understand the notion of sustainable development and whether and to what extent the company implements this concept within the area of transport. An introductory analysis of the data obtained from the company makes it possible to propose a hypothesis relating to practical aspects of the implementation of the said concept: there continually arise contradictions of economic and environmental nature.
