Since the dawn of time, people have struggled to find a lasting solution to the persistent problem of waste management and segregation. The amount and variety of waste produced globally has grown exponentially along with the ongoing rise in human population. As a result, there have been several studies conducted in this field, some of which have been supported by private organizations, NGOs, and governments. In order to protect the environment whiles progressively achieving global sustainable development, Pro-Environmental Behaviour (PEB) has been advocated as a universal personal endeavour. In affluent nations like the United States of America (USA), the United Kingdom (UK), and France, there is a lot of research on PEB. There is, however, a dearth of study on PEB in developing nations, the majority of which are found on the continent of Africa, where poor waste management and segregation is a major problem.The goal of this study is to better understand how university students at the University of Health and Allied Sciences (UHAS) in Ghana, a developing country, acquire and share knowledge on waste management and segregation. This will give further details on the main channels by which the student body communicates information about the environment. Also, it will allow us to do a chi-square analysis to ascertain the association between gender, academic level, and the students' garbage sorting. Ultimately, it investigates how students' attitudes or behaviours change after receiving thorough instruction on the significance of acting in an environmentally friendly manner. At first, the study gave more information about the effects of ineffective waste management and segregation.Following this is a literature review that focuses on defining pro-environmental behaviour, which is followed by a methodology that describes the tools to be used in this study. The following conclusions were drawn from the study: The association between a student's characteristics—such as gender and academic level—and their propensity to act in an environmentally friendly manner appears to be weak or even non-existent. Also, a subsequent examination on students' garbage sorting behaviour in relation to their academic level produced outcomes that were comparable to those of gender. The benefit of exhibiting a pro-environmental behaviour has been made clear to pupils, and it can be determined that they were ready to accept these standards after receiving this information.

The main objectives of this research was to identify and discuss the critical success factors for sustaining the lean concept in the MAS Holdings and to analyze the gap between the existing cultures of apparel manufacturing organizations and the acceptable lean culture.
When identifying the contribution factors for a successful lean apparel culture, first of all, it has identified that the human resources play a vital role. Understanding how complex human beings are and understanding the contribution of them to sustain such a system is not easy. For that, first of all, the culture of the society in which the human beings are gathered had been taken into consideration. Hence, lots of literatures were reviewed base on cultural aspects. Then, since the research was based on the apparel Industry, some literatures also being reviewed and the perception towards the Sri Lankan Apparel Industry also taken to be consideration. Then again, as a main part of this research, Lean Manufacturing Concept was highlighted and required theory and the practical aspects were taken into the consideration while the literature review was going on and finally a background for the research was formulated.
Base on that platform, the research methodology was designed. MAS Linea Clothing has taken as the framework for this research. The approach would be exploring the secondary data which is related to Linea Clothing with the platform of Lean. Under that two areas were explored as interns’ interview with Lean Advocate and results of the Lean Leadership Assessment Tool. And if there any contradictions with theories or the practical scenario, those discrepancies get cleared through the use of primary research where the Questionnaires and Self-evaluation surveys functioned.
