Preserving Biodegradable Hemp

Moving Forward with Mandi Kerr

Cole the founder & CEO of Dama and an innovative entrepreneur, is pioneering the development of sustainable hemp plastic and compliant packaging solutions for a variety of industries. With only nine percent of all plastic recycled worldwide, and the plastic waste problem growing out of control in all industries, Cole established a practical and sustainable strategy for business and industry using the power of hemp and other green technologies. Dama is powered 100% by renewable wind energy. Cole’s concern for the overwhelming amount of plastic waste clogging our seas and damaging soil is what challenged and motivated him to take action. Over the last two years alone, Cole and his team have made a massive impact on the world today by preventing over 100 tons of petroleum plastic from entering our environment. As he looks to the future, Cole believes his years of research in the area of sustainable hemp plastic packaging, combined with hundreds of relationships in business and industry, will prevent thousands of tons of petroleum plastic from damaging our planet. Cole, an active outdoor enthusiast, attended Salt Lake Community College and Weber State University where he studied Automotive Technology with an emphasis on alternative fuels, including Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), Biodiesel, Hydrogen Fuel and Hemp Ethanol. He was also a high-altitude prototype test driver for Jaguar/Land Rover. Cole has spoken at numerous events, expos, and symposiums on sustainability, bioplastics, and waste management. At Dama, they care about the world we live in and strive to make the world a better place for us all. That’s why Dama Distributing is on a mission to eliminate single-use plastic waste.
