dc.description.abstract	In the competitive global market, the position of garments industry, the most important remittance-earning industry, is deteriorating by day due to numerous reasons one of which being increase in cost. To keep up with challenges like increased compliance enforcement and quality demand, the traditional ways are failing to keep a sustainable production environment in this industry. For maintaining a sustainable production environment, it has become an absolute necessary to reduce waste in production system to the minimum. This study concerns with a case study that attempts to address different factors standing in the way of waste reduction in garments industry, the prevalent categories of wastes in the industry and practical measures and guidelines for the solution. Since the study was limited to a single export-oriented garments factory, the findings may not prove accurate for making generalized conclusions. Further study is necessary for determining comprehensive measures.	en_US
