Olyns operates Recycling Media Cubes at the entrances of popular retailers, delivering convenient beverage-container recycling alongside advertising space for brands. The model funds recycling through advertising, creating a scalable approach that benefits retailers through foot traffic and ad revenue, brands through shopper reach and access to recycled plastic, and people through rewards and bottle-deposit redemptions where applicable. Each cube redirects more than two metric tons of material per year, and 91% of that material would otherwise end up in landfills or oceans.

The company is based in Santa Clara, California, and was founded in 2019 by John Buchowski and Philip Stanger. It targets high-traffic indoor or outdoor locations such as grocery stores, pharmacies, malls, service stations, transit hubs, cinemas, stadiums, and campuses, with more than 140,000 potential U.S. locations. In 2025, Olyns expanded its digital in-store experience by partnering with Wovenmedia and BrightSign to integrate a content management system with purpose-built media players.
