About Us

CLYNK is here to simplify, innovate, and facilitate so we can extract more value out of recyclable materials.

What We Do

CLYNK makes it easy to turn your containers into something good

CLYNK started in Maine – the nation’s third Bottle Bill state – seeing an opportunity to launch a modern way for consumers to recycle. Today, we continue to reach new milestones in scaling a tech-based bottle redemption platform that’s both unique and transformative in the circular recycling economy.

Impact

Being about it 

In a world of talk about having an environmental impact, CLYNK is doing something. Our novel approach to bottle redemption yields nearly 100% recyclable material. That means the cans and bottles you CLYNK won’t end up in a landfill, ocean, or incinerated. While we are proud of how much positive environmental impact CLYNK has, we are most proud of providing a platform for our CLYNKers to have an impact as well.

Testimonials

"Great idea for business, environment, and everyone seems to win. This is a simple concept for consumers, suppliers, and producers that picks up all the pieces and the end product is returning the cash back so it can be spent over and over."

"I appreciate that you've essentially gamified recycling!"

"CLYNK makes it easy, and I like that I can control when I get money back. It's like a savings account in some ways."

"How easy: collect the bottles in a bag, bring to station at the grocery, no waiting in line for machines, or waiting for a machine to be emptied."
