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.

  2. We receyle, reuse and buy used when we can. Repair things and we don’t buy stuff that is over packaged

  3. One innovative thing I do in my home to reduce waste and help the environment is following the phrase/rule I learned as a child: Reduce, reuse, recycle ♻

  8. I wash my ziploc bags to reuse them. I use milk bags as sandwich bags and wash them too. I compost and recycle and I try to buy local as well, as much as possible. If I can, I will take the bus or walk when visiting the city. A couple times a year, I help my local community and clean up the sides of roads, picking up garbage and what not.

  11. I divert my eavestrough to use the rainwater for my garden, saving water during the growing season.

  13. In my home I try to reduce waste by going paperless with my bills and buy products with minimal packaging.

  20. Each ink bottle set is equivalent of 100 ink cartridges, fewer ink cartridges mean less ordering of cartridges, so less packaging and waste

  26. There are so many features to this epson ecotank printer but two that really stand out to me are that I can print large size pictures in perfect color and that I can use this printer anywhere due to the WI-FI feature which makes it wireless! Plus Shaq does such a good job in the commercials!

  27. We are pretty good at reducing waste by composting for our garden beds, recycyling both in the blue bins and at the local bottle exchange and we also have most of our bills and statements on line to reduce paper waste. Every bit helps!

  32. One innovative thing we do is still the 3 R’s – reduce, recycle and reuse, we only have half a bag of garbage a month. ( I am so shock to see people with 2 bags or more of garbage a week)

  33. Simple old-fashioned facecloths instead of plastic bath “puffs” or loofah. Nothing to go to the landfill. I wash & reuse the facecloths until they are rags – then into the rag bag for dusters.

  40. One innovative thing we do to reduce waste is to not buy new things if we really don’t need it…for example, a few years ago our microwave stopped working, so my wife said let’s see for a month if we can do without one…yep, we can do without one!

  44. I love that you don’t have to buy cartridges over and over. You save money and it’s good for the environment. I print on both sides of the paper to save.

  45. I reduce waste by reusing a lot of food containers and jars for other purposes, I also compost most of my kitchen waste.

  47. All my bills are now emailed to me so I no longer get all that paper waste mailed to me.
