This development seeks to help the paper industry to use an alternative material in producing paper. The special paper made use of non-toxic chemicals, and are environment-friendly. The acceptability performance of the produced paper was evaluated by a group of experts in the field of printing in terms of functionality, workability, durability, aesthetics, economy, saleability, and safety. Evaluators were composed of two (2) faculty/peers, and fifteen (15) students taking up Graphic Arts and Printing Technology and five (5) students in College of Industrial Technology and two (2) students from College of Architecture and Fine Arts. The mean ratings of the evaluation in the seven criteria are 4.44 for functionality, 4.61 for aesthetic, 4.61 for workability, 4.58 for durability, 4.62 for the economy, 4.58 for safety and 4.57 for saleability. The development earned the highest rating for the economy as test results showed that the “colocasia gigantea” is truly economical in terms of materials needed and the time spent in processing, and the machines, equipment, and materials used.

This project entitled “Development of specialty paper using “colocasia gigantea” from a
tropical plant Gabi or Taro was developed to provide an alternative source of special paper
from Gabi stem. “Colocasia Gigantea” is locally available and are found especially near
the riverside areas like Bicol, Batangas, Quezon province and also in other regions. This
development seeks to help the paper industry to use an alternative material in producing
paper. The special paper made use of non-toxic chemicals, and are environment-friendly.
The acceptability performance of the produced paper was evaluated by a group of experts
in the field of printing in terms of functionality, workability, durability, aesthetics,
economy, saleability, and safety. Evaluators were composed of two (2) faculty/peers, and
fifteen (15) students taking up Graphic Arts and Printing Technology and five (5) students
in College of Industrial Technology and two (2) students from College of Architecture and
Fine Arts. The mean ratings of the evaluation in the seven criteria are 4.44 for functionality,
4.61 for aesthetic, 4.61 for workability, 4.58 for durability, 4.62 for the economy, 4.58 for
safety and 4.57 for saleability. The development earned the highest rating for the economy
as test results showed that the “colocasia gigantea” is truly economical in terms of
materials needed and the time spent in processing, and the machines, equipment, and
materials used.
