PROJECT FEASIBILITY PROPOSAL
Tinta de Alugbati
ALTERNATIVE BALLPOINT INK Too expensive ballpoints, too classy ballpoint cases, too wondrous thick ink writings. Those are for what? When we all need is a decent penmanship? Anyhow, there will be exemptions too. Like, we need to have those tiny and “clean” ballpoint inks for such important write ups, but for us ordinary students, who are not that capable of having those dollar-cost pens, we’re searching for alternatives that for sure, will somehow help us in refilling our durable pens. Commonly known as “Alugbati” here in the Philippines is a leafy-soft-stemmed vine vegetable that contains a lot of vitamins and minerals that somehow discovered and called, “a vegetable with a use”. In some foreign countries, it is called Malabar spinach, that contains vitamin A, vitamin C, iron, and calcium that can help a human body more productive and even healthier. I come up with an idea, that why don’t we try to innovate an ink that is economically available and that can be seen in our own gardens? Lesser expenses, more savings. This might be something that is commonly known but this is one thing I’m interested to come up with a product. A product that can surely be afforded by mostly of people and especially by the students. Tinta de Alugbati, interesting, isn’t it? That leafy vine has its tiny, round fruits that produce its very dark violet-colored pigments that can be used in coloring some artworks. And now, I’ve thought of something interesting, making an ink for ballpoints. It is a very cheap material for a very precious partner in a learner’s life- humble ink for a pride pen point. This is worthwhile since our society is having that recycle bandwagon that aims to reduce wastes and elevate innovative outputs. With this, I can say, that my proposed product is obviously adjoin to this support team. Adjoined in a sense that the advocacy I am having, is very into
