New York, NY. 10., Valiant Technology announced the winners of the “Design The 4th Bin” competition. The competition sought ideas and concepts from around the globe for a public domain e-waste logo and a licensed collection bin for e-waste. Initially conceived in response to New York City Local Law 13, which prohibits electronic waste disposal in the regular trash, the concept of the 4th bin has ignited a response from the design community and ecologically conscious firms around the world. The respondents ranged from design students to internationally recognized industrial designers and architects.
First prize for the collection bin went to Springtime of Amsterdam. First prize for the e-waste logo went to Two Twelve of New York City. There were three runner up projects for the collection bin, Baharash Bagherian of London, AM/PM Studios of New Hampshire, and Alistair Bramley. First runner up for the e-waste logo was Kevin Elliot James of Toronto. The winners of the bin design will receive $3000 and the runners up will split $1000. The winners of the logo design will receive $1500 and the runner up will receive $500. The complete list of finalists can be found at http://www.4thbin.org.
Valiant Technology also announced it has founded a business dedicated to e-waste rescue. Michael Deutsch, COO of The 4th Bin said, “The 4th Bin is a new concept in e-waste recycling. The 4th Bin is creating a methodology for large and small businesses to recycle their unused cell phones and computer equipment with minimal effort and expense”. In the near future, The 4th Bin will be partnering with several charities and non-profit organizations for the purpose of conducting a series of e-waste recycling campaigns. Portions of the proceeds from collected e-waste are donated to the participating organizations. These joint promotions will assist the charities and non-profits by creating another source of funding during the current financial environment while providing NYC businesses another channel to contribute their excess electronics for a greener environment.
