Coming Klean

Klean has more than 60 distinct reverse vending machines in operations now and is scaling up slowly.

WANDER around the Klang Valley long enough, and you’re bound to come across one of Klean’s distinct reverse vending machines. Humbly seeking your used plastic bottles, cans and takeaway containers in exchange for points-based rewards, they’ve taken up residence in shopping centres, office towers and condominium buildings.

“We’ve gained 60,000 users in a year and a half, so it’s done really well. We’ve got more than 60 machines now and we’re scaling up slowly,” shares Dato’ Dr Nick Boden, CEO and founder of Klean.
