The disclosed invention is a method for using collagen extracted from animal bones, hides, and flesh waste as a protein-based glue (Bone Glue) to create asphalt with a modified asphalt binder. The method comprises of mixing Bone Glue with water, adding it to an asphalt binder, evaporating the water, adding the modified binder to aggregate and mixing at an elevated temperature. The modified asphalt binder consists of a predetermined amount of Bone Glue and asphalt binder.
