This project entitled “Utilization of Coffee Grounds Charcoal as Ink Pigment for
Whiteboard Marker Refill” was to develop an alternative source of ink pigment out of
and maximize the use of discarded coffee grounds which adds to waste disposal problem.
Used coffee grounds are abundant in coffee shops all over the Philippines. This
innovation seeks to help coffee shops reduce the burden of disposing of used coffee
grounds and help the ink manufacturing industry lessen the cost of raw materials and save
the cost of production through recycling.The process involves burning of coffee grounds
to convert into charcoal to extract the pigment and mix with dissolving and binding
substances to form the ink. The charcoaled coffee grounds usedin the study is less toxic
and are environment-friendly. The produced ink pigments were proven to be useful and
practical as an alternative pigment for producing ink. The acceptability performance of
the produced ink was evaluated by a group of experts in the field of printing in terms of
functionality, workability, durability, aesthetics, economy, and safety. Evaluators were
composed of five,(5) faculty/peers, and fifteen (15)students taking up Graphic Arts and
Printing Technology course in the university. The mean ratings of the evaluation in the
seven criteria are 4.43 for functionality, 4.45 for aesthetic, 4.41 for workability, 4.53 for
durability, 4.61 for the economy, 4.48 for safety and 4.56 for saleability. The innovation
earned the highest rating for theeconomyas it showed that the raw material and the
process used for producing the ink is found to be effective and cheaper compared to the
commercial ink marker refill.
