1. What is the problem of the study? What is the research question of the study?
The problem of the study is that the marker ink is composed of different type of components, and these
components has a negative impact to the environment.
The research question is, can a banana peel and cassava peel be effective as a alternative material in the
creation of eco-friendly marker ink?
2. What is the objective of the study?
The objective of the study is to create an eco-friendly marker ink.
3. Methodology:
3.1 What are the materials use in the study?
70% Alcohol from Merck
Aqua dest
Arab gum
Banana peel
Cassava peel
3.2 Where is the study conducted?
Indonesia
3.3 When is the study conducted?
August 30, 2020
3.4 What are the instruments used?
Oven
Blender
Pycnometer
3.5 What is the method used in the evaluation/gathering data?
The researcher used experimental method
4. What is the result of the study?
The result shows that cassava and banana peels can be used as an alternative in making ink markers
5. What is the conclusion of the study?
Cassava and banana peels can be used as an alternative in making ink markers. The concentration of carbon in
ink making greatly influences the characteristic properties of the ink. The density, viscosity, and thickness of
the ink pigments are directly proportional to the concentration of carbon added in the manufacture of ink. The
higher the carbon concentration, the higher the value of the characteristics of the ink measured (density,
viscosity, pH, the thickness of the pigment). The characteristic of the ink from banana peels is better than ink
from cassava peel. The ink from cassava peel has a higher density and viscosity.

1. What is the problem of the study? What is the research question of the study?
Nowadays, ink could be quite expensive which could be a problem for teachers, students and office workers
to supply ink. Additionally, some commercial inks can actually harm the environment because of the toxic
chemicals that it contains when it is thrown away.
The research questions are:
o Is charcoal as printer ink effective? (Refers to quality)
o Is making alternative ink helps you to lessen your expenses?
o What will be its effect to the environment?
2. What is the objective of the study?
Make use of the charcoal to make it as a eco-friendly printer ink.
Provide a new alternative for printer ink.
Have individuals save extra money for printer ink.
To be able to compare the made charcoal ink with the commercial ink bought in stores.

3.3 When is the study conducted?
2015
3.4 What are the instruments used?
Mortar and Pestle
Syringed
Empty printer cartridge
2 teaspoons
Bowl
Funnel

1. What is the problem of the study? What is the research question of the study?
Whiteboard marker has been used extensively due to its perceived safety compared to chalk. Recent reports,
however, showed that commercialized ink also imposes health risks in addition to its expensiveness
