Ipswich resin driveway business celebrates 5 years of eco-friendly solutions

Oltco Ipswich, a local franchise of the countrywide resin-bound solutions company, is marking its fifth anniversary.

The company has made strides in sustainable driveways, recycling over 500,000 plastic straws across its network.

Key points:

  • Oltco Ipswich uses Recycle Bound, a product that incorporates waste plastics like food packaging and bottles into resin surfaces

  • The company offers a 20-year guarantee on its products

  • Franchisee Liam Dorian plans to expand the business and create more local jobs in the coming year

What they're saying: "Reaching this five-year milestone in Ipswich is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team and the support of our local community," says Liam Dorian, Oltco Ipswich franchisee.

The bottom line: If you're interested in sustainable driveway solutions, you can arrange a free home visit by calling 0800 040 7795 or visiting Oltco's website.
