INTRODUCTION
A. Background of the Study Nowadays, waste are scattered all around. Burning them is one of the ways to hasten waste but it can only add pollution to our environment. So the researchers decided to think of some ways to recycle them and bulletin board making is an example of it. It can help lessen waste and save money and trees. Cork is the main component in making bulletin board. It is harvested for commercial use primarily from Quercus suber (the Cork Oak), which is endemic to southwest Europe and northwest Africa. It reaches 25-30 years for the cork to be removed from the tree for the first time. In the Philippines, there is no production of cork and the country only imports cork in the western countries. It is reason for its high value in the market. The researchers conducted the study to replace cork in making bulletin board. The researchers used peanut shells and carton as an alternative of cork. Peanut takes 120-150 days for its harvest time. Unlike the cork, it only takes lesser time for peanuts to be harvested and it has a lower price in the market. The cellulose in peanut shells makes them ideal for use in drywall and paper products. It also contains arsenic that is commonly used in wood preservation.
B. Statement of the Problem This study generally aims to makes use of peanut shells and carton as bulletin board. This study
