Sort of green plan to recycle (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chartreuse

'sort of green' is the definition.

'plan to recycle' is the wordplay.
'plan' becomes 'chart' (chart can mean a plan or diagram).
'to recycle' becomes 'reuse' (synonyms).
'chart'+'reuse'='CHARTREUSE'

(Other definitions for chartreuse that I've seen before include "drink" , "Pale green-yellow colour" , "Green-yellow liqueur" , "Carthusian liqueur" , "Green or yellow liqueur made by monks" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
