In the current age of global climate crisis, corporations must confront the rising pressure to mitigate their environmental impacts. The goal of this research paper is to provide corporations with a resource to manage waste through the implementation of a circular economy and by increasing Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Navigating this large and complex system required the use of various methodologies including: the investigation of the relationships between waste management systems and sustainable development across major companies; literature reviews of scholarly articles about CSR, circular economies, recycling, and releases of company reports on sustainable development and financials. Lastly, interviews and a survey were conducted to gain deeper insight into the problems that make circular economies so difficult to achieve at scale.

The Oasis app is a self-appraisal tool for potential or current problem gamblers to take control of their habits by providing periodic check-in notifications during a gambling session and allowing users to see their progress over time.

User feedback was collected and used to improve the app, and the results show a promising tool that could help those who need it in the future.
