Abstract
The concept of sustainability is the idea of using natural resources wisely in company activities for the lives of future generations. Three crucial elements-social, environmental, and economic-are the center of this idea. The management of waste resulting from the company^s business activities is a concrete step for the company to implement the concept of sustainability in its business activities and efforts to preserve the environment. One process that has an important role in waste management is the transportation of waste from each generation point. Waste produced from each generation point will be transported to a temporary disposal site (TPS) or final disposal site (TPA), where it will then be processed. The length of the route taken by the transportation vehicle has a significant effect on the completion time of the transportation process. The implementation of odd-even on several roads in the city of DKI Jakarta has the impact of increasing the distance traveled by waste transportation vehicles in transporting waste from each generation point. This research uses the Vehicle Routing Problem method in Lingo.18 software to optimize the route of waste transport vehicles. Optimization is carried out to obtain the lowest possible values for the distance and travel time variables in two different conditions (normal, odd, and even) for each route traversed in the transportation process. The optimization results for the variable distance traveled in normal conditions were 36.3 km, and in odd-even conditions it was 46.8 km. Meanwhile, the optimization results for the travel time variable in normal conditions were 111 minutes, and in odd-even conditions, they were 126 minutes.
