The adoption of a cleaner production approach to environmental protection has generated the need to identify obstacles affecting the absorption of clean technologies by enterprises with different strategic environmental types in Poland. This research analysis focuses on a sample of industrial firms representing the following industries: food, fuel and energy and chemical. Findings indicate that there are statistical differences between the types of environmental strategies related to the influence of financial and legal obstacles to the absorption of clean technologies. The study also shows that the influence of obstacles on proactive environmental strategies was found to be smaller than on strategies with a lower level of adaptation
