I used to work for a specialty waste company. We would brag about our ability to recycle better than any of our competitors. Because we would burn most of the waste.
I'm in the industry, at least in the US, and this is not technically accurate... especially not using the language and common understanding of the layperson.
What is it then?
Disposal and/or treatment of waste. Unless its "waste-to-energy"---in which case you'd use that terminology, but you'd never call either "recycling."
