Assuming my municipality accepts it, are they actually being recycled?

I see them being touted as recyclable. However, it seems like it would be difficult and resource-intensive to recycle but I’m not a recycling expert.

    “can be” is doing some heavy lifting here. I confidently predict the amount actually recycled is a fraction of one percent

      Making matters worse is that half the statistics that would show the abysmal rate count “thermally recycled” (=burning it) towards the same metric and are thus pretty meaningless.
