Faced with increasing water scarcity, the potential of greywater reuse stands out, but requires effective treatment to remove organic matter, pathogens, surfactants, and suspended solids. Constructed Wetlands (CW) are sustainable decentralized technologies gaining prominence for this propose. They recognized their low-cost, simplicity, effectiveness in wastewater treatment, producing effluents that meet quality standards reuse. Despite advantages, there is a need deeper understanding factors influence performance efficiency. This review aims fill gap by systematically analyzing current research on CW technology, identifying key variables affect its application improvement. A systematic considering period 2019–2023 was carried out using Methodi Ordinatio, multicriteria decision-making methodology. The search databases were Science direct, Web science Scopus. approach involves structures process selecting scientific articles, resulting bibliographic portfolio recent studies,. initial yielded 291 retrieved titles, through selection, 48 studies chosen in-depth analysis. Existing allowed evaluate ways which systems applied. highlights how applied, substrates type, plants, operational criteria emerged as primary influencing technology's performance. also growing use construction waste biochar substrates, have shown promise enhancing focus "reuse", articles it observed topic scarcely addressed, thus suggesting remains underexplored. provides state-of-the-art synthesis offering valuable insights into specific design choices impact system effectiveness. It serves worthwhile resource efficiency management.
