Who we are

Every year 67 million tonnes of plastic is thrown away and never recycled. It’s landfilled, it’s incinerated and it pollutes our oceans. Why?

There are many reasons, but it all really boils down to one thing: The business model for recycling is broken. Everyone agrees that there’s a problem, but no one can agree on how to pay for the fix.

But customers still really care about the environment. In fact over the past few years, customers have been putting their money where their mouth is. Sustainability marketed products have grown 7 times faster than regularly marketed ones. And although they still only account for 16% of the CPG market, they account for a massive 55% of its growth.

At Olyns, we’re creating a new paradigm for recycling by combining the act of recycling with the requirements of sustainability marketing. By leveraging what the Boston Consulting Group recently called the $100B opportunity in retail media, we’re providing value for all stakeholders:

  • Consumers get the convenience, incentives and paths to action that they want.
  • Brands get a media channel to align their sustainability message with the action of recycling at a valuable point of sale.
  • Retailers get increased customer visits and spend, and
  • Our planet gets a break from the tons of plastic that would otherwise pollute our environment.

We’re venture funded and looking for talented and passionate team members to help us change the face of recycling. If you’re looking for a mission rather than just a job, we want to meet you.

Why Olyns? 

  • Develop cutting edge technologies in a creative and innovative environment
  • Imagine new opportunities in areas that matter and will impact the world you live in
  • Headquarters in Silicon Valley - within walking distance to CalTrain
  • Be a part of a high performing team of the world’s best innovators and executors
  • Receive excellent medical, dental and vision benefits, equity ownership in Olyns and competitive salaries
  • Flexible work arrangements to support you in working in the way that you work best
