CV ABC supplies fresh and frozen meat. Based on observations and interviews, the company often experiences delays in delivering products because delivery routes are still determined by the type of customer company. This study was conducted to determine delivery routes using the Clarke and Wright Saving Method. This research focuses on improving the distribution process to compare the carbon emissions of the existing routes with selected routes. Based on the calculations, the new routes reduced the distance and carbon emissions by 23.6%. The delivery distance decreased from 6,109.2 km/year to 4,670.4 km/year, leading to a decreased carbon emissions from 1,446.10 kgCO2e to 1,105.52 kgCO2e. Although the research results indicate an improvement, this study is limited by the assumption that customer demand does not fluctuate; therefore, the results should not be generally applied. Integrating methods for determining fluctuating demand with route-planning methods could be a direction for future research.
