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 printersÂ
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.

We attempt to reuse almost any disposable item that comes through our door before it is put on the curb for green, blue or regular trash pick up
I reuse paper, recycle it and would use it as compost if I did not live in an apartment.

In PEI, we separate ALL our garbage in to 3 types of recycleables plus compost and waste. Any exceptions have to be taken to a waste facility for proper disposal (example used batteries, BBQs, tires, etc.)
Unplugging everything when it is not in use! Not innovative, but a commonly missed way of reducing energy waste!
We recycle every thing we that we can and compost everything compostable.
The most innovative thing I do at home to reduce waste is repurposing old devices that are no longer officially supported by their manufacturer. One example is a Samsung Galaxy S3 I purchased in 2009. I’ve been able to use it for a number of purposes. One of the most innovative use cases was it was used as a LTE modem to help stream content that was not possible on my home network (minimal upload bandwidth) to my niece and nephew to remotely play games together during the pandemic.
I constantly talk to my family about recycling so hopefully they can pass it onto there kids some day.
I would not say it is innovative as it is actually very old fashioned…I grow most of my produce and preserve it either by freezing, canning or dehydrating.
We use a tankless hot water tank, this reduces energy.
I hang dry as much as I can
I recycle the much that I can
Clothes drying on the line & recycling everything possible.
I reduce all paper products before putting them into paper bags or cardboard boxes which I get from grocery stores or fast food outlets. The paper bags/boxes then go into the recycling bin.
I hang all my clothes to dry — haven’t used a dryer in 10 years. ! pick up all bottles & cans when I’m out on trails
We hang dry most of laundry, so therefore use dryer very little.
i recycle as much as possible
We have made a big effort to stay away from “fast fashion” and reduce the amount of clothing purchased in the household. We also have tried to find products with packaging that is easily recycled.
reduce consumption and recycle what we can
This isn’t really innovative but with the abandonment of plastic grocery bags and the sale of paper bags at stores, when I have shredded paper to dispose into the recycling, before I put it in the recycling bin, all the shredded paper goes into a paper grocery bag. I don’t fill it up all the way, so I can fold tightly the top. That means when it gets dumped into the truck, the paper doesn’t fly away and let loose all over the street. In fact, just yesterday I saw someone else’s shredded paper scattered all over the gutter sides of the street; it was a mess. If they put their shredded paper in a paper bag or a recyclable box/container, or a recyclable bag (those are debatable though) those fine paper can be contained much better and not litter all over the place.
Additionally, paper bags I use to hold dry organics. Separating wet organics to dry organics means I do go out to the bins less, but it does sort the organics inside the house better.
Reuse paper as much as we can 🙂
Recycle and reduce printing at home. Thks!
We recycle anything that can possibly be accepted by the recycle depot and donate any serviceable goods that cannot.
We recycle and I hang a lot of my clothes to dry
I compost and use it for my garden

Before throwing anything away or recycling anything, I think through whether any of the stuff can be repurposed for a project or craft.
I just recycle
We hang our wet laundry out in summer months and use drying racks in the winter.
Use eaves to supply water for our gardens and recycle lots
I reuse candle wax from nearly finished candles and make new candles out of it.
We recycle everything possible.
Always do the laundry on Sundays to conserve on the power grid, we also compost and recycle where ever we can including when we eat out .
green bin for compost
I am passionate about recycling & our environment & now drive a PHEV. Also recycle as much plastic as I can & of course paper too. Love a environmentally friendly printer like this one from Epson. Thanks!
I use veg peelings and scraps to make vegetable broth used for future receioes. I reuse glass jars and plastice container to store leftovers and other items. i recycle by having a yard sale and/or donating unwanted tiems to thrift stores. I use vinegar and baking soda for much of my cleaning chores instead of prepackaged chemical cleaners. We trade books among friends and co-workers.
