Clynk

Founded in 2006, CLYNK is one of the fastest-growing bottle redemption services in the country, processing under patented technology, over 1 billion containers since inception. With this technology, CLYNK is a true disruptor combining bottle redemption and traffic driving capabilities on behalf of its retail partners. Unlike any other bottle redemption service worldwide, CLYNK offers a convenient and easy bag-drop system at retail that eliminates waiting in line, manual count, material separation, and reduces fraud; all concerns which have historically dampened redemption participation and customer satisfaction. CLYNK is also the only bottle redemption system that allows customers to create a personal account, accumulate a balance and use funds at their discretion (for cash, groceries or electronic donations to local charities). Headquartered in Maine, the company currently operates in 100 Hannaford Supermarkets in Maine and New York and has licensed technology in Oregon, Iowa and New Brunswick, CA.
