Earth day is a great time to familiarize yourself with eco-friendly printers like the Epson ET-8500 printer. As we march towards a greener and cleaner future, we’re always on the lookout for the latest sustainable and eco-friendly technologies. Epson’s new line of supertank printers help you reduce waste and increase productivity—and produce amazing high-quality prints. Learn why this printer is better for the planet and for you, then enter to win one for your home.

Two reasons why Epson EcoTank printers are better for the environment

Over the past few years I have used much less paper and print a lot less at home too. One of the most important reasons is that my children graduated from school and moved out. No more school projects to print. While they were in school I bet we used an ink cartridge every month or two. Parents, you know what I am talking about! Recycling and composting are activities that many of us are doing a lot more than even a decade ago. Purchasing products from companies creating sustainable tech, like Epson, is another way to help the planet.

The EcoTank printers from Epson are just what parents need: you’ll save money and you’ll be helping the environment.

Save money: Ink cartridges are not cheap! With an Epson ET-8550 you’ll just refill the ink reservoirs in the printer when the ink levels are low. You won’t ever buy another ink cartridge! In fact, the ink bottles this printer comes with have so much ink that my family would have gone years without needing to buy more. Each ink bottle set is equivalent of 100 ink cartridges.

Help the environment: Fewer ink cartridges in your shopping cart means less ink cartridge plastic in the environment. It also means less plastic packaging for those ink cartridges, less energy being used on ink cartridge production, and less travel back and forth to transport those ink cartridges. You can see how big a deal these printers are.

Celebrate Earth Day by spreading the news about Epson Ecotank printers 

Do you celebrate Earth Day? You can! You could host an Earth Day party: use an Epson eco-friendly printer to create the invitations. Okay perhaps not. Or you could petition the government to turn Earth Day into a stat holiday. That too may be a bit too extreme for most of us. Perhaps a simpler way to help the environment is to just tell friends and family about companies, like Epson, who are making an effort toward sustainability, creating technology that uses less plastic and consumes less energy. Even better when you save money at the same time as you do with an Epson printer!

Then tell your friends to read and follow these instructions and they might win one.

  6. We use bikes or walk whenever we are able to. We have also taught our kids how to recycle, and where to properly dispose of it.

  11. We garden. It reduces waste from plastics, no pesticides and we enjoy delicious produce. Moving to some indoor growing with our aero garden and really excited about that.

  14. We collect all our scrap metal and set it out on the curb for the scrap collectors. I know they sell the metal to a recycling company, which saves these items from the landfill.

  19. We reuse a lot of cereal boxes and other cardboard for the kids crafts, and to keep compost in so we aren’t purchasing the compostable liner bags.

  28. I installed a bidet toilet seat. The use and waste of toilet paper has gone way down. I love that this printer is refillable and wireless. I find the cost of cartridges way too high.

  29. I try to cut down on paper in any way. I get my bills electronically and pay them via my bank (no cheques or envelopes). When shopping I opt for an emailed receipt if it is an option.

  37. I don’t waste food, compost and recycle regularly! Wrap food waste in newspaper to put in compost! Also have a water barrel with a spigot outside to catch the rain to water indoor & outdoor plants!
    !) Compatible with several Epson apps so you can print from your phone or take on creative projects
    2) Included ink bottles and replacement will give you 2 years’ worth of prints and capacity up to 6200 pages in colour

  41. Our family started composting all food waste last fall plus we’re 100% recycling everything we can. It’s amazing how much less garbage we now make. I love it!

  46. We reduce buy buying less , we try to reuse whatever we can and recycle whatever we can’t reuse. Being more conscious of the environment for our grandchildren’s future

  50. I reduce the the amount of plastic I use by using things like bar soap instead of plastic dispensers.
