Last year, Keep Nebraska Beautiful (KNB)(knb.org) announced the start of a new program: the Sustainability Seal Program. KNB created this program to celebrate green businesses that weave sustainable practices into their daily work. The Sustainability Seal is more than a certification — it’s a public commitment to protecting Nebraska’s environment and building a sustainable future.

KNB awarded Sustainability Seals to five businesses or organizations in 2025: Nebraska Recycling Council (Lincoln, NE), First Star Recycling (Omaha, NE), District 2 Floral Studios (Omaha, NE), Dundee Candle Co. (Omaha, NE), and Papio Roofing (Omaha, NE). These businesses truly go above and beyond in sustainable business practices and KNB is honored to recognize and celebrate them!

By formally recognizing green business efforts, KNB hopes other businesses across Nebraska are inspired to take action and create aripple effect of positive environmental change. Together, we all can  show that sustainable practices strengthen our planet, our communities, and the success of local businesses.
