Recyclable vs. recycled

OK, so the new cup is recyclable. Lots of materials are "recyclable".

The more important question is:

Will UA be collecting these cups/segregating from other waste if necessary and actually sending to a recycler?

Being recyclable is not better for the environment UNLESS the item is actually tied to a recycling program. The press release is not clear on this . . .
