The Impact of Carbon Tax Policy in a Multi-Objective Green Solid Logistics Modelling Under Sustainable Development

Abstract

In the last few decades, worldwide atmosphere change has become out to be one of the most significant environmental issues. Carbon emissions and air pollution have motivated a need to design an effective and sustainable logistics network. As a result, environmental policies are included in the transportation system to reconsider and re-structure a greenway distribution network. This chapter addresses a multi-objective optimization problem to design a solid logistics modelling in a green framework. The objectives of the stated problem are as follows: (a) to minimize the total financial costs along with carbon emissions cost, (b) to maximize the customers’ satisfaction level simultaneously, and (c) to maximize the sustainable effectiveness conveyances.Amulti-objective optimization procedure, namely, global criterion method is introduced to extract a non-dominated solution to the proposed problem. Two numerical examples test the formulatedmodel and solution procedure. A comparative study among the proposed procedure and the other existing relevant procedures is also presented. Concluding remarks are discussed at last.
