In this paper we analyze a distribution network and a waste collection network that adopt the same fleet of vehicles. This fleet is owned by a company that provides logistics and transport services in the Algerian territory. The objective of this work is to propose a logistics chain in circular economy (continuous cycle) by combining the transports of the two studied networks, taking advantage of the empty returns, in order to minimize the travel costs and to reduce the CO2 emissions. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of optimal vehicle usage in distribution networks and its influence on total supply chain costs and environmental effects.
