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.
