Recovering resources from wastewater systems is increasingly being emphasised. Many technologies exist or are under development for recycling nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus to agriculture. Planning design methodologies needed identify deploy the most sustainable solutions in given contexts. For environmental sustainability dimension, life cycle assessment (LCA) can be used assess impact potentials of wastewater-based nutrient alternatives, especially recycling. This review aims evaluate how well LCA methodology has been adapted applied assessing opportunities form monomineral, multimineral, solution organic solid. We reviewed 65 studies that considered agricultural land application. synthesised some their insights methodological practices, discussed future outlook using In general, more suggested positive outcomes recycling, when chemical inputs minimised, source separation human excreta achieved. The shows need improve consistency (e.g., multifunctionality, fertiliser offset accounting, contaminant accounting), ensure transparency inventory methods, consider uncertainty comparative context, integrate up-to-date cross-disciplinary knowledge agriculture science, soil science) into models, localised impacts recycled products. applying at various scales support decisions on - instance, performing "product perspective" products, integrating "process with other approaches selecting optimising individual recovery processes, emerging integrated resource systems, conducting analysis city, national global level.

Water has been pushed into a linear model, which is increasingly acknowledged of causing cumulative emissions pollutants, waste stocks, and impacting on the irreversible deterioration water other resources. Moving towards circular model in sector, configuration future infrastructure changes through integration grey green infrastructure, forming Nature-based Solutions (NBS) as an integral component that connects human-managed to nature-managed systems. In this study, thorough appraisal latest literature conducted, providing overview existing tools, methodologies indicators have used assess NBS for management, well complete systems considering need assessing both anthropogenic natural elements. Furthermore, facilitators barriers with respect policies regulations circularity identified. The study concludes co-benefits management are not adequately assessed. A holistic methodology from perspective still needed integrating tools (i.e. hydro-biogeochemical models), methods MFA-based LCA) incorporating and/or newly-developed indicators.

To reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote resource recovery, many wastewater treatment operators are retrofitting existing plants to implement new technologies for energy, nutrient carbon recovery. In literature, there is a lack of studies that can unfold the potential environmental economic impacts transition utilities undertaking transform their water recovery facilities (WRRFs). When existing, literature mostly based on simulations rather than real plant data pilot-scale results. This study combines life cycle assessment evaluations quantify an (WWTP), which already implements energy into full-scale WRRF with series novel technologies, majority implemented or tested through pilot-scales. We evaluate five technology alternatives against current performance WWTP: real-time N2O control, biological biogas upgrading coupled power-to-hydrogen, phosphorus pre-filtration harvest enhanced nitrogen removal. Our results show lead decrease in climate change fossil depletion impacts. The implementation measurement control achieved highest reduction direct CO2-eq (-35%), no significant other categories. Biological contributed counterbalancing indirect by substituting natural consumption production. Pre-filtration increased 13%, while it Enhanced sidestream removal 12%, but decreased marine eutrophication 14%. reserve base impacts, however, were configurations implementing power-to-hydrogen. Environmental improvements generated costs all except control. expose possible trade-offs hotspots journey large will undertake transitioning coming years.
