Kelvin Okamoto’s Summary

I have and provide specific expertise in many aspects of material and product development including: sustainability testing and certification; materials & finished goods regulatory compliance; materials selection, plastics formulation and processing; and intellectual property services.

The target organizations for I and Green Bottom Line are small to medium-sized companies that need the support but do not need someone full-time working on sustainable product development, testing, certification or intellectual property and do not have the time to have someone come up to speed and learn what needs to be done.
