This chapter discusses the developments in the area of vehicle routing and, more specifically, the vehicle routing problems (VRPs), which feature both delivery and collection demands and their relevance and contribution to go green reverse logistics polices. It briefly elaborates on the VRP and its variants involved in reverse logistics. The chapter highlights the significance and ecological relevance of the VRP delivery and collection models and provides information concerning freight transport greenhouse gas conversions and computations. It briefly describes the vehicle routing models that are directly focused on green transportation. Broadly speaking, the literature on such environmentally‐friendly models may be divided into two categories – green VRPs; and those comprising electric vehicles. The chapter shows the link between traditional and green VRP models and the significance of their integration, in order to achieve better economic and ecological gains.
