Tóm tắt
The construction sector is a major consumer of natural resources and a significant source of emissions, making the transition toward a circular economy (CE) essential for sustainable development. Although Vietnam has introduced key policy commitments, including the Green Growth Strategy 2021–2030 and the Net Zero target by 2050, the implementation of CE principles in construction projects remains fragmented and lacks a unified assessment framework. This paper reviews the theoretical foundations of CE in the construction sector and examines the current state of application in Vietnam through literature review, policy analysis, and expert consultation. The findings indicate that existing practices mainly focus on waste management and recycled materials, while life-cycle-based design, supply chain integration, and governance mechanisms are insufficiently addressed. The study identifies critical research and practical gaps, providing a foundation for developing quantitative indicators and an assessment framework for CE implementation in construction projects in Vietnam.
