Plastics to Microplastics

2 of 100

What is plastic?

Plastic is a material made from synthetic or human-made organic compounds containing carbon. It is often made with petroleum and can come in many shapes, sizes, and colors. Plastic is flexible, lightweight, and inexpensive and is used in products ranging from food and beverage packaging and foodware to electronics, construction materials, medical supplies, fishing gear, and clothing.

Did you know that there are seven different kinds of plastics?

4 of 100

Type 1: Polyethylene terephthalate (PET)

  • Used to make: Water bottles, plastic food containers
  • PET Bottles are the most recycled plastic in the world
  • Can be recycled in CNMI at transfer stations

Type 2: High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE)

  • Used to make: Grocery bags, milk jugs, shampoo bottles, etc.
  • One of the easiest plastics to recycle
  • Can be recycled in CNMI at transfer stations and through MINA’s community recycling program

Type 3: Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)

  • Used to make: Pipes, building materials, etc.
  • Not usually recyclable, although can be reused
  • Cannot be recycled in CNMI

7 of 100

Type 4: Low-Density Polyethylene

  • Used to make: Plastic bags, six pack rings, plastic wrap, etc.
  • Can be difficult to recycle
  • Can be recycled through MINA’s community recycling program

Type 5: Polypropylene (PP)

  • Used to make: Plastic food containers, car parts, yogurt containers, disposable diapers, etc.
  • Can be recycled through MINA’s community recycling program

9 of 100

Type 6: Polystyrene (PS)

  • Used to make: Foam beverage cups, insulation, disposable dishware, etc.
  • Cannot be recycled, is difficult to clean up and does not biodegrade, it just breaks into smaller pieces
  • Cannot be recycled in CNMI

10 of 100

Type 7: Other

  • If plastic cannot be identified in the above 6 groups, it goes into Group 7. The best-known plastics in this group are Polycarbonates (PC) which are used to build tough, strong products.
  • Cannot be recycled in CNMI

OPTIONS FOR DISPOSAL IN CNMI

LANDFILL/DUMP SITE

RECYCLING

Most plastics will end up in the landfill or dump, just due to lack of recycling resources or improper recycling.

Plastics that are properly recycled can be brought to two locations.

12 of 100

OPTIONS FOR RECYCLING

TRANSFER CENTER

MINA RECYCLE

At the transfer stations on Saipan and Tinian, you can drop off plastics #1 and #2.

MINA on Saipan accepts #2, #4, and #5 plastics for their community recycling program.

HOW LONG UNTIL ITS GONE?

14 of 100

HOW LONG DOES PLASTIC LAST IN THE ENVIRONMENT

It is unknown how long plastic remains in the environment. Plastic has only been around for about 75 years. The plastic never truly “goes away” and degrades. It just breaks up into smaller and smaller pieces.

15 of 100

TYPES OF MICROPLASTICS

PRIMARY MICROPLASTICS

SECONDARY MICROPLASTICS

These microplastics are made small. An example of this is the microbeads you might see in hand sanitizer or face wash.

These microplastics are created when larger plastics break up into smaller pieces over time.
