Phytoremediation stands out as a promising technology for removing heavy metals from contaminated soils. This work focuses on studying the environmental performance of phytoremediation in copper soil located an old Spanish mine using life cycle assessment (LCA) method. For this purpose, Brassica juncea (brown mustard), Medicago sativa (alfalfa) and their rotary cultivation were assessed along with different options managing biomass (landfill disposal cogeneration). In addition, excavation washing treatments also compared to phytoremediation. M. proved superior B. cultivation, regardless option, achieving impact reductions 30–100%. is due ability fix nitrogen, which reduces fertiliser requirements. Among management alternatives, cogeneration was landfill all cases by allowing energy recovery, thereby reducing impacts 60–100%. + option that presents best studied treatments, up negligible values four eight categories avoided production. On contrary, less desirable followed treatment.
