Now Accepting Nominations for 2025 eco-Excellence Awards!

ecomaine is now accepting nominations for the 2025 eco-Excellence Awards, an annual program recognizing individuals, property managers, businesses, and organizations from ecomaine communities that demonstrate exceptional commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship.

For more than a decade, the eco-Excellence Awards have celebrated ecomaine community members who lead by example—reducing waste, increasing recycling, and inspiring others to take action for a more sustainable future. Nominations are open to individuals, schools, nonprofits, municipalities, and businesses that have made a meaningful impact in their communities.

Last Years Winners Were: 

  • Reuse Maine’s Sydney Harris and Suz Okie
  • Common Threads of Maine
  • Piper Shores Sustainability Collaborative 
  • Peaks Renewables

“Every year, we are inspired by the creative and dedicated sustainability efforts happening in our communities,” said Caleb Hemphill, Board Member at ecomaine. “These awards are our way of recognizing and celebrating the individuals and organizations making a real difference.”

Nominations for the 2025 eco-Excellence Awards will be accepted until April 5th. Winners will be honored at our Annual Meeting where they will be recognized for their contributions to waste reduction, recycling, composting, education, and other sustainability initiatives.
