2025 Green Business Recognition Program

The Hoboken Green Team recognizes that local businesses play an important role in the sustainability and environmental responsibility of our City. We aim to build a thriving, active community of like-minded individuals and businesses committed to progressive, responsible environmental values; a community dedicated to the goals of improving and protecting our city, our residents, our businesses and our planet.

Does your business…

• Reduce waste through activities such as composting or minimizing packaging?
• Recycle "uncommon" items such as water filters or cooking oil?
• Use efficient light bulbs, such as LED?
• Buy in bulk with minimal packaging?
• Participate in environmental causes (fairs, cleanups, green foundations, etc.)?
• Or participate in anything else to help our community and the Earth?

If so, then apply for recognition as a Hoboken Green Business!

Hoboken Green Businesses will receive:

• Hoboken Green Business sticker to display at their storefront
