The Contaminator is a giant machine made by Major A.B.S. with trash from the Great Garbage Patch, a moving island of trash, with the purpose of revenge against the recycling industry. He planned to contaminate exactly nine percent of the world's recyclable plastic so that nothing could be recycled ever again. When A.B.S. was confronted by the Titans, he revealed the island was only the surface of the Contaminator and activated it. Polly Ethylene and Tara Phthalate, a pair of magical molecules, aided the Teen Titans. They turned into a couch which Cyborg chucked into the Contaminator's truck cockpit. They turned into a tote bag next. Raven and Starfire scooped up trash with it then Beast Boy turned into wolf and clamped down on the bag to rig a sling shot. The trash was slung onto the truck cockpit's windshield. They turned into a carpet next. The Contaminator landed on top of it. Robin and Cyborg yanked the carpet away and the machine fell on its butt.
Before Polly Ethylene and Tara Phthalate could transform again, the Contaminator fired toxic waste on them. Their powers were nullified and they could no longer transform. Major A.B.S. called them pathetic recyclers. The Titans countered he was a recycler for giving new purpose to the island's waste to make a super weapon. A.B.S. teared up and realized they were right and there was more to recycling than he thought. The island and Contaminator were recycled for various things on the Titans' island like a bed of sunflowers, a bench, a table, a gazebo, fledgers, and bird feeders.
