Who we are

Every year 67 million tons 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 consumers really care about the environment. In fact over the past few years, consumers 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 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.
