Cleveland Recycles | Durable recycled shopping bags to create environmental change

Laura Jackson is a local creative with a BFA in Graphic Design (7 credits shy:) from KSU. Jackson reached her career goal at a young age of 33 years old as a Director of Computer Graphics & Multimedia within a New York City pharmaceutical ad agency named LLNS (Lyons, Lavey, Knickel, Swift; an Omnicom company). Pfizer was their main client. Jackson started with a staff of two and grew to a staff of fifty. She built and grew a 24/7 working studio which produced print, web, professional photography, and 3D animation graphics to launch new products worldwide. LLNS grew to become one of the top ten pharmaceutical advertising agencies in the world.

In 2013 Jackson moved to Cleveland and launched Cleveland Recycles. Jackson researched the many Cleveland logos in use. The name “CLE” was not spoken nor used. Jackson noticed that the Cleveland Hopkins Airport used “CLE” on their luggage tags only and as the airport abbreviation when purchasing a ticket.

In 2014, Jackson designed, trademarked, silkscreened, and launched her CLE Cleveland logo using the historic Terminal Tower onto the CLE recycled bags…and the rest is history. She intentionally sold the CLE recycled bags at many Cleveland festivals.

Today, the Cleveland community speak the tag name “CLE” in conversation along with businesses using the “CLE” name due to Jackson’s trademarked CLE Cleveland logo. Jackson put CLE on the map.

to create environmental change

We believe in the importance
of producing environmentally friendly
reusable products to help reduce
the consumption of our natural resources
and reduce unnecessary landfill waste.

Our products inspire, mobilize, and motivate individuals to recycle, barter, and reuse goods to create environmental change for new generations to come.

We also believe in the importance of economic empowerment through supporting our communities, and each other, by patronizing local artists and small businesses.

We love our communities!

The City of Cleveland is filled with giants that are awakening to the potential this great city possesses. Rise as a community by practicing economic trading that is self sustaining.
