The present study aims to evaluate the impact of MSWM system in Nagpur city, India under four different scenarios. i.e., composting combined with landfilling (S1), material recovery facility (MRF) & composting combined with landfilling (S2), MRF & anaerobic digestion (AD) combined with landfilling (S3) and MRF, AD & composting combined with landfilling (S4) using LCA tool. The sensitivity analysis was also performed for evaluating the influence of recycling rate of valuable resources in all the considered scenarios. The scenarios were compared using Gabi 8.5.0.79 model and CML-1A impact characterization method. S2 was found to have the least environmental impacts on global warming, human toxicity, eutrophication, and photochemical ozone creation potential categories. The sensitivity analysis indicated an inversely proportional relation between change in recycling rate and total environmental burdens. © 2019 Elsevier LtdAnaerobic digestionBiogasEmitter coupled logic circuitsEutrophicationFacilitiesGlobal warmingLife cycleMagnetorheological fluidsRecyclingSensitivity analysisCharacterization methodsEnvironmental assessmentEnvironmental burdensGaBiLife Cycle Assessment (LCA)Material recovery facilitiesPhotochemical ozone creation potentialsProportional relationMunicipal solid wasteammonianitrogen oxideozonephosphateanaerobic digestionenvironmental assessmentglobal warminglandfilllife cycle analysismunicipal solid wasterecyclingsensitivity analysiswaste managementacidificationArticlecitycompostingeutrophicationgreenhouse effecthumanIndialife cycle assessmentphotochemistrypriority journaltemperaturesolid wastewaste disposalMaharashtraNagpurCitiesHumansRefuse DisposalSolid WasteWaste Management
