Our company values sustainability and is looking to shift the way we currently make and use receipts. We are looking for assistance in researching the environmental impact of our proposed alternative and the potential added benefits it offers compared to current alternatives.

• Research new and more ecologically ways to store digital receipts in an application and ways to manufacture microprocessors, which can include different storing alternatives, receipt formats, and access routes.
• Create recommendations on the best ways to use our product to reduce digital pollution.
• Analyzing ways to reduce our company's carbon footprint by developing our product more sustainably.

The following outlines criteria we hope to meet with our app development:

• A more sustainable alternative to paper and email receipt
• Receipt storage aimed to maximize efficiency and easy access while reducing digital pollution
• A more sustainable chain of production and better alternatives for hardware components
• An attractive solution to customers
• An attractive solution, easy to use by any business (retail, restaurants...)

By the end of the project, students should complete the following list of activities:

• Researched the ecological impact of paper and email or in-app receipts
• Created recommendations on the best way to manufacture our product.
• Advised if/how we should change our storage options to reduce digital pollution while maximizing efficacy
• Constructed a weighted decision matrix to choose the best option for our product.
• Created a report detailing research and recommendations.

Final deliverables should include

• A report including all research, findings, the decision matrix, and recommendations.

Students will connect directly with us for mentorship throughout the project. We will be able to provide answers to questions such as:

• Current product understanding
• Current offers from competitive alternatives
• What are the environmental implications of our app development?
• Inputs on choices, problems, or anything else the students might encounter
