Sustainable distribution management

Recently a new trend related to the study of pollution emissions and environmental impacts
minimization has started in the area of the vehicle routing problem [20]. Most of this literature is related to the pollution routing problem, in which the aim is to effectively route vehicles to satisfy customers demand while taking into consideration traveling speed to minimize fuel consumption and also the actual route traveled to avoid unnecessary greenhouse gas emissions [20-22]. The integration of these concerns within inventory control operations gives rise to a myriad of problems ranging from selection of lot sizing, vehicle routing, delivery quantities and demand management.
