Unrecycled construction waste in Hanoi is causing pollution, despite its potential to be reused as valuable materials. Current recycling rates are low due to infrastructure and market challenges.

• Hanoi generates over 10,000 tons of construction waste daily, much of which is not recycled.
• Recycling construction waste could provide valuable raw materials and reduce reliance on natural resources.
• Current recycling rates are low due to inconsistent demand, lack of infrastructure, and high sorting costs.
