Evaluate the qualitative characteristics of paper waste and dried leaves as Ceiling Board in terms of: physical appearance, composition, and odor; 2. Determine the applicability of paper waste and dried leaves as Ceiling Board in terms of; type of paper and dried leaves used, amount of additives or binder, and drying time; 3.Find out if there is a significant difference between two treatments in terms of acceptability such as, color, capacity, texture, and drying time. Experimental method is a research method was used to test a hypothesis by seeking to establish a causal relationship between dependent and independent variables. It involves manipulation of the independent variable, while trying to keep all other variables constant (A Dictionary of Nursing, 2008). The qualitative characteristics of paper waste and dried leaves as Ceiling Board in terms of: physical appearance, composition, and odor verbally interpreted as Very Good while the applicability of paper waste and dried leaves as Ceiling Board in terms of; weight, dimension and drying effect verbally interpreted as very applicable. However, the significant difference between two treatments in terms of acceptability such as, color, capacity, texture, and drying time. Treatment A, resulted to be very acceptable. While, Treatment B resulted to be acceptable.
