The present study elaborates on the multiple options associated with municipal solid waste management options for Indian cities with two different scenarios. It highlights the adverse impacts and the extent of issues been developed to date. The analysis tool used for Life cycle assessment in the present study is openLCA, and the impact categories focused on are human toxicity, global warming, acidification potential, and eutrophication.
