Oltco Watford, led by Director Veeray Maru, is proud to contribute to a major milestone: the recycling of the equivalent of one billion plastic straws through Oltco’s world-first, award-winning innovation, Recycle Bound.

Oltco, the UK’s leading sustainable resin-bound surface specialist, marked this achievement with celebrations at Newquay Airport, near the company’s head office. The impact of this milestone, however, is being felt across the country, including in Watford.

Since introducing Oltco’s unique offering to the region, Veeray and the Watford team have installed Recycle Bound surfaces throughout the area, transforming local driveways, patios, pathways and commercial spaces into durable, visually striking surfaces while actively helping to reduce plastic pollution.

Launched in 2019, Recycle Bound was developed to address the growing issue of plastic waste. This innovative resin-bound solution combines stone with waste plastics such as straws, drink bottles and food packaging, repurposing them into high-quality surfaces for homes and public spaces.

Veeray Maru, Director of Oltco Watford, comments, “The response from the Watford community has been amazing. People really care about sustainability here, and it’s been a privilege to offer a product that not only looks fantastic but also helps fight plastic waste. Reaching one billion straws recycled is a huge moment for Oltco, and I’m proud that Watford has played its part in this national achievement.”

Oltco’s network spans more than 50 franchise areas across the UK, and the Watford team continues to be at the forefront of the movement, combining sustainability with stunning design. Notable projects nationwide include installations at The Eden Project, Pears National Centre for Autism, RHS Garden Harlow Carr, and Newquay Airport.

Recycle Bound has won numerous awards for innovation and sustainability, with customers praising its environmental benefits and long-lasting, attractive finish.
