Blu-Bin, Inc has opened ‘Tip Jar,’ a program which gives customers the option to have Blu-Bin donate 5 percent the revenue from their purchase to Vermont nonprofit organizations. The program is open to any Vermont-based 501 (c)(3) organizations benefiting the arts, technology education, and innovation. Two organizations customers already signed up for the program are Burlington City Arts and Generator, Burlington's new makerspace.
Blu-Bin, Inc, which recently relocated to Burlington’s Church Street, has been participating and organizing a variety of socially minded projects ever since it opened its doors in the fall of 2012. While the company itself is a for-profit corporation, its business mentality and tenets as a company encourage community minded actions like its plastic recycling partnership with Ben and Jerry's and free classes in 3D printing, 3D scanning, and 3D modelling held in its shop every Saturday.
Daniel Riley, CEO of Blu-Bin has this to say about the new program, ‘We've been incredibly lucky to be where we are today thanks to the Vermonters whose ideas we’ve made real, and Tip Jar is great way to give back and to support innovation in this great state.’
Blu-Bin, Inc is a retail 3D printing company that was founded in August, 2012. In its first year of operations it has helped hundreds of people and companies turn their ideas or CAD files into objects.
