Applying life cycle assessment to assess the environmental performance of decentralised versus centralised wastewater systems

•Environmental hotspots in decentralised wastewater systems are revealed with LCA•Six wastewater management scenarios are compared using a whole-systems approach•Sewer infrastructures drive mostly centralised scenarios' impacts•No clear conclusions on superior environmental performances of scen...
