What if there was a large-scale redemption system that turned consumer recyclables into a reliable source of food-grade material?

Boost recycling and showcase sustainability with CLYNK.

Manufacturers and distributors understand that their product is not only a beverage but also the packaging that holds it; therefore, circular packaging is a significant area of focus. Bottle deposit increases alone are insufficient to change a consumer’s recycling behavior. Consumer-centric and time-saving are also essential to drive consumer engagement in recycling. In Oregon and Maine, bag drop is the overwhelmingly preferred choice of redemption for residents resulting in the highest recycling rate for beverage containers in the US at nearly 85%. Convenient consumer-centric bag drops are the tool to meet all our beverage container collective goals.

The innovation and convenience associated with CLYNK’s Bag Drop are proven, and the opportunity to collect other material types, such as film, is real. CLYNK’s Redemption Stations are “forward compatible” to address EPR mandates as well as material types that are non-regulated. This would be a win all around – providing relief to retailers in properly managing this recycling stream and ultimately reducing the amount of film litter and contamination in MRFs.

  • CLYNK’s patented bag-drop tech makes redeeming bottles easier, boosting recycling rates. 
  • Our process yields more food-grade material, free of contaminants. 
  • We ensure manufacturers only pay for redeemable containers, scanning each barcode individually. 
  • More recycling and cleaner bales help beverage manufacturers meet sustainability goals faster. 
  •  Our collection points can be leveraged for other material types such as film.
