The circular economy is the economic model that has been applied for a long time in theworld. This model is applied at all three levels: micro (enterprise-level), intermediate (industry level,industrial zone level), and macro-level (local level, regional level, or national level). Vietnamese CoalMining Industry has been having important contributions to the socio-economic development ofVietnam. However, this industry also causes lots of issues about environmental pollution. In the contextof resource depletion, environmental pollution and the cost of exploiting and processing increases withthe deep exploiting process; the tastes of utilizing resources, minimizing environmental pollution, andcreating more value-added for this industry are inevitable requirements. Because of the tasks, applyingthe circular economy model into this industry (both intermediate and micro-level) is the urgent solutionfor the sustainable development of the Vietnamese Coal Mining Industry. The paper uses a combinationof research methods such as theoretical research, case study research, statistical data analysis, etc., topropose the circular economy model for the Vietnamese Coal Mining Industry and some solutions todeploy this model into the industry's operations towards sustainable development.
