About Link International Inc.

Joel Walker is Co-Founder & President of Link International Inc, a nationally recognized vendor management and sustainability solutions firm based out of Temecula, CA.

Joel has 25 years of packaging and sustainability experience in retail and consumer goods. He founded Link International 15 years ago with the vision of becoming a “one-stop shop” for managing and brokering recycling commodities, but soon grew into something much larger as they began managing vendors and creating sustainability programs for their clients.

Joel has leveraged his experience managing distribution centers’ and manufacturing facilities’ waste and recycling programs to develop a model to control costs and manage efficiencies throughout the clients’ operations. This has allowed the company to expand their service offerings and grow their client base nationwide.

Today the company successfully conducts business with several Fortune 500 companies throughout the nation and is exploring opportunities internationally.
