Environmental Management Committee Hearing
November 1,2016
Resolution No. 683-16: "Urges the County to Establish Educational Programs to Reduce Land-based
Contributions to Marine Debris, As Recommended by the Hawaii Island Packaging Sustainability
Initiative Stakeholders Task Force"
Testimony By: Dexter Yamada,Joy Gold
• Position: Support
Chair Onishi, Vice Chair Wille, and Members of the Committee:
Dexter Yamada is President of KYD Inc, doing business as K Yamada Distributors. I am Joy Gold, consultant to
Dexter Yamada and KYD, Inc. KYD, Inc. is a locally founded, family run business in Kalihi. KYD, Inc. began in
the 1940's as a florist and a supplier of florist supplies. In 1958 it evolved into the packaging company it is
today and later expanded into a distributor of many other fine products. KYD, Inc and its sister company,
Hawaii Foam Products, LLC provide jobs to about 90—100 men and women and contribute much to Hawaii's
economy in the form of payroll and taxes.
Support is expressed for this resolution that seeks funding for educational programs for reducing land-based
marine debris on Hawaii Island. It is an acknowledgement that much of the marine debris begins on land
when people do not throw away their rubbish properly or when there is insufficient management of trash
receptacles.
Thank you for the opportunity to testify.
