  Various studies have been conducted in the fields of sustainable operations
management, optimization, and wastewater treatment, yielding unsubstantiated
recovery. In the context of Europes climate neutrality vision, this paper
reviews effective decarbonization strategies and proposes sustainable
approaches to mitigate carbonization in various sectors such as building,
energy, industry, and transportation. The study also explores the role of
digitalization in decarbonization and reviews decarbonization policies that can
direct governments action towards a climate-neutral society. The paper also
presents a review of optimization approaches applied in the fields of science
and technology, incorporating modern optimization techniques based on various
peer-reviewed published research papers. It emphasizes non-conventional energy
and distributed power generating systems along with the deregulated and
regulated environment. Additionally, this paper critically reviews the
performance and capability of micellar enhanced ultrafiltration (MEUF) process
in the treatment of dye wastewater. The review presents evidence of
simultaneous removal of co-existing pollutants and explores the feasibility and
efficiency of biosurfactant in-stead of chemical surfactant. Lastly, the paper
proposes a novel firm-regulator-consumer interaction framework to study
operations decisions and interactive cooperation considering the interactions
among three agents through a comprehensive literature review on sustainable
operations management. The framework provides support for exploring future
research opportunities.
