The depleting of resources and the increasing of construction and demolition (C&D) waste creates an urgency for the construction industry player to start recycling. This paper aims to discover the list of recyclable waste along the potential construction products from recyclable sources to create awareness to building industry players to recycle due to various benefits. The method used for this study are data retrieval and systematic literature review. The results have proven building industry should practice recycling because it does have impacted the world positively and convene sustainability. As a result, the building industry players will have high awareness on the issue and new arrays of building materials to practice whilst not jeopardizing the earth.
