Olyns

Olyns operates at the intersection of recycling and digital out-of-home advertising, describing its mission as connecting people to recycling and brands to consumers. Its core product is the Olyns Cube, an AI-powered reverse vending machine (RVM) that accepts and compresses recyclable plastic, aluminum and glass containers while incorporating a large 55-inch HD digital display. The Cubes are placed at the entrances of popular retailers, positioning the screens to reach shoppers at a high-intent moment just before they enter and shop.

This creates a place-based retail-media DOOH channel that Olyns markets to advertisers as a new way to reach consumers in the physical world, supported by a mobile app for touchless interaction, container counting, electronic payouts, coupons and rewards. Each machine requires only a small footprint (roughly 12 square feet and a standard power outlet), enabling deployment across grocery and big-box retail sites with partners including major chains. Olyns' advertising inventory has been made available on programmatic DOOH platforms through partnerships (for example via Screenverse and Vistar-connected supply), and the company has worked with large CPG brands.

Geographically the network is concentrated in California—particularly the Bay Area and Los Angeles—with active expansion of its digital screen footprint. Olyns thus functions as a sustainability-focused DOOH media owner operating its own screen network.
