Oltco Kent Plays Its Part In Recycling The Equivalent Of Over 500 Million Plastic Straws In Driveways Across The UK

Oltco Kent, the leading sustainable resin bound driveway company, led by Jaye Cook and Steve Zoghob, has recently played its part in recycling the equivalent of over 500 million plastic straws in driveways up and down the country.

Using its innovative and award winning Recycle Bound solution, Oltco Kent has been committed towards tackling the issue of plastic waste and has played an integral role in Recycle Bound’s success story which is being used not only for domestic projects, but also at some of the UK’s leading hotels and attractions.

Created in 2019 as a unique solution to help tackle the issue of plastic waste, Recycle Bound is made utilising waste plastic (straws, plastic drink bottles and food packaging) from a plastic recycling point, where it is sorted and then crushed into a more manageable size. This is then granulated and mixed with Oltco’s resin blend to create the innovative product. Each square metre of Recycle Bound consists of the equivalent of 3,000 plastic straws. Therefore, if Recycle Bound was laid on a standard 50 square metre drive, the equivalent of 150,000 plastic straws would be recycled in the process.

Although mainly used on driveways, paths and patios for the domestic market, Recycle Bound has also been used on larger commercial projects such as the Eden Project and the location of the G7 Summit, Carbis Bay Hotel. To date, Oltco has recycled the equivalent of 882,000 plastic straws at the Eden Project.

Oltco was inspired to develop the product as it had grown increasingly concerned about the devastating impact plastic waste was having on the planet.

Since it launched, Recycle Bound has seen a resounding success winning accolades including being named runner up for 'Recycled Product of the Year' in the National Recycling Awards.

Oltco Kent’s Steve Zoghob said ‘Recycle Bound has been extremely successful and we are grateful for all the individuals and local businesses that have come on board. We have installed multiple Recycle Bound solutions across Maidstone, Medway, West Malling and Tunbridge Wells and I’m proud that we can offer such an amazing product to our customers'.

Oltco’s Co-Director, Tom Stringer, adds: “We were so passionate about creating a product that would help to combat the global issue of plastic waste and after many years of testing and trying, Recycle Bound came out on top. After launching over two years ago, it’s amazing to say that the product has recycled the equivalent of over half a billion plastic straws.”

Oltco Director Johnny Pearce comments: “We’re so proud that Recycle Bound has hit this major milestone as it’s a testament to how great the product is. We’re thankful for the customers that have come on board and it’s an amazing achievement that Recycle Bound transformations are taking place across the UK.
