\nPlastic pollution is a global environmental problem t hat is predicted to worsen. Hawaiʻi is an unfortunate hotspot with record quantities of plastic washing ashore from distant locations and harming co ral reefs\, marine organisms and aesthetics of the natural landscape. Much of this plastic pollution comes in the form of foreign derelict fishing g ear. Finding a long-term use for this material\, such as improving asphalt roads by replacing a portion of the binder with plastic from derelict fis hing nets\, could spur more environmental cleanup and create a win-win for the environment and economy of Hawaiʻi. Many countries and states are rec ycling plastics into asphalt already\, but the public has warranted concer ns that the pavement may produce unintended environmental damages\, such a s releasing microplastics or leaching plastic additives into aquatic habit ats. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and Hawaiʻi Pacific University’s Center for Marine Debris Research (CMDR) has develop ed methods for environmental chemical measurements. Working with the Hawai ʻi Department of Transportation\, CMDR will test microplastic and plastic additive leaching from asphalt paved with recycled plastics. In addition\, the University of Hawaiʻi will test the mechanical performance of the asp halt. Our future data will provide more understanding and information on p otential of recycling plastics into roadways.
