Tile from Recycled MaterialCLI began to market its own line of ceramic and recycled glass tile in 2007. There were two impetuses for this new product line.
First, CLI Recycling was collecting a significant amount of bottle glass from bars, restaurants and marinas. The second factor was that Artist Open Studio (AOS), a partnering non-profit whose mission is to help people with developmental disabilities make and sell art, opened a ceramic art studio housed in the CLI workshop building.

All glass used in CLI’s recycled glass products is made from glass reclaimed by our recycling program

Recycled Glass TileCLI’s primary objective with the tile was to create a 100% fused glass tile that could be manufactured at CLI and sold at a lower price-point that other recycled glass tiles on the market.
The project generated a fair amount of interest almost immediately, particularly in CLI’s ceramic products. CLI’s ceramic products are stoneware made from Ohio clay. |
