The design competition was supported in part by Valiant Technology and was promoted through organizations and publications including Core77, Metropolis Magazine and The Architect's Newspaper. 4THBIN later evolved into an independent electronics recycling and information technology asset disposition (ITAD) company.

According to the Basel Action Network, 4THBIN was the first New York City–based electronics recycler to receive e-Stewards certification.
