III. Rationale/Significance of the Study
Shoe polish is used to make the shoes shining. It helps to improve the looks of shoes
as it was before, by simply rubbing it to the shoe with use of a clean rag. Also, polishing
shoes will help increase their life span and protect leather footwear.
In this modern time, most of the people use shoe polisher to look their shoes
presentable and attractive, somehow it can help to boost more confidence to the beholder.
You can buy shoe polish in convenience store or market. Commercial shoe polishes which
are available in the market are made of synthetic ingredients.
The aim of this study is to create a machine that will produce a banana peels based
shoe polish. This shoe polish is made of banana peels which contain Vitamins, minerals and
fiber, it is also known for antifungal and antibiotics properties. According to some
experiments, banana peel is effective in shining shoes made up of leather. By the use of
banana peel based shoe polish it can help to eliminate the disadvantages of chemical shoe
polish and it is more affordable than the traditional shoe polish. Also consumer will assure
nontoxic and natural ingredients of the product.
IV. Objectives
Generally, the study aims to design an automated shoe polish maker.
Specifically, it aims to:
1. Design and fabrication of the machine;
2. Design and construct a micro-controller circuit that will automate the system;
3. Develop a software that control the operation of the system;
4. Test and evaluate the operation of the system
5. Conduct a cost and return analysis of the system.
