Crossword Genius

TV Andre recycled, being green (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

verdant

'being green' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'tv andre recycled' is the wordplay.
'recycled' indicates anagramming the letters.
'tv'+'andre'='tvandre'
'tvandre' is an anagram of 'VERDANT'.

(Other definitions for verdant that I've seen before include "Covered with lush green grass or vegetation" , "Unsophisticated" , "Green like grass or fields" , "Leafy" , "Having green growth" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
