Abstract
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.
The transition to a Circular Economy (CE) within the production sector faces significant challenges, including the lack of comprehensive frameworks and robust assessment tools. Existing approaches often emphasize specific aspects, such as resource efficiency, material usage, or product design, limiting their effectiven...

The transition to a circular economy (CE) is central to advancing cleaner production, reducing waste, and promoting sustainable resource use. However, large-scale CE adoption remains constrained by financing gaps, regulatory weaknesses, and limited institutional capacity, particularly in emerging and developing economi...

Facilities management (FM) regulates the most resource-intensive and longest stage of the built environment lifecycle but is peripheral within the theory of circular economy (CE). The study aims to build a conceptually rich theoretical framework of how the principles of CE can be systematically incorporated in FM p...
Thailand has introduced a broad policy architecture to support green industrial development, yet policy support does not automatically translate into commercially viable and socially desirable projects. Using Thailand as an institutionally grounded application rather than as empirical validation, this article develops...
A successful transition to a circular economy of water requires the integration of infrastructure modernization, wastewater reuse, resource recovery, governance coordination, economic incentives and public acceptance. This review assesses the status of circular economy policies and implementation barriers in Romania’s...
