I want some cord for tieing up plants

The _best_ stuff for this is the fluffy string-like stuff
(polypropylene?) that's used to make disposable cartridges for
plumbed-in water filters. It also has just the right amount of strength
and elasticity to hold up a bush, but break if it's left for years
around a growing tree. Now that's the sort of recycling I like.

Failing that, buy some proper hemp or sisal garden twine (for much the
same reasons).
