Default The recycling game

Ok, this game is similar to some of the others we have played on here but to do with recycling. I name a product or substance that can be recycled or re-used, then you have to name another product/substance that begins with the last letter of my word.

I'll start things off with: newspaper can be recycled and re-used.

Well composting's a kind of recycling, isn't it? And you can compost lovely lettuce leaves (when you think they aren't lovely any more cos they're all brown and wilty - but your compost heap will still think they're delicious! )
