Abstract:
The study aims to assess the potential of Ipil-Ipil (Leucaena leucocephala) charcoal
and used engine oil as an alternative ink for whiteboard markers. This quantitative
study used experimental research as its design and used descriptive statistics in data
analysis. The study results revealed that the respondents accepted the color
intensity, consistency, and scent supported by the t-test result, which shows a
significant difference between the acceptability of the alternative and
commercialized ink. This study contributes to developing sustainable and effective
writing tools by analyzing and offering environmentally friendly choices for diverse
situations.
