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.

  7. I use water from steaming vegetables to water my plants (wait for the water to cool, it is full of nutrients and better than throwing the water down the drain).

  8. We used recycled materials to create seed pots, and compost made from food scraps to make rich starting soil.

  9. I like that they are using less plastic and the idea of not having to buy multiple ink cartridges 🙂

  10. I recycle plastic, paper, and metal as well use efficient water faucets showerheads, and thermostat. For printer, I use draft setting and double sided.

  13. We have a compost bin to reduce food waste in the dump and then feed the heelthy compost back into the ground.

  14. we have two garbage cans in the kitchen and in the bathroom to make sure we divide recycling and garbage immediately – no reason to throw recyclables in the garbage can

  15. We live in a city but use our front yard for a garden and save all are fruit and veggie waste for compost for it. We also try to reduce plastic usage.

  20. I use cardboard milk cartons to collect waste, then empty them into a bag in the bin outside. I only put out the garbage every second week – just one plastic bag.

  28. The refillable ink holders are super along with the higher quality printing on both sides of paper.

    My kids and I reuse cardboard and make different land areas such as lakes, forests, farms and so on.

  29. I bought an indoor compost bin for kitchen scraps. It really reduces my garbage waste. I also reuse jars for canning fruit.
    The printer is a Cartridge-free system, that means a lot to me and it’s wireless since I would use it a lot with my phone.

  32. Beyond all the normal recycling, my children reuse printed papers that are no longer of use for colouring. We also obtain the large majority of their clothing passed down from family or friends and continue to pass them on to others if they are still usable.

  42. My way of helping to maintain a healthy and sustainable environment is to ensure that I follow garbage sorting rules, at home and in public places. Recycling appropriately. Regular garbage, green bin (organic) and recycling (blue bin). I use filter water system (Brita) instead of plastic water bottle.

  43. Two things which I like about the the Epson ET-8550…its wireless and it uses ink bottles vs cartridges. As for aiding the environment…I refuse to cut down trees on my property and have challenged the City to minimize its penchant for over-pruning trees on public lands/alleys.
