How is that even allowed to be called recycling? As in, is it genuinely a term defined legally and, if so, who allowed this to happen? Because burning is most certainly not recycling.

Recycled as fuel. Its not that bad energy-wise. We have power plants running off that stuff.
Some people consider it a better use of oil than burning it directly.
Goverment can make it's own rules I guess...
