The capsule can be recycled but is not reusable. Closed with ultrasonic welding, the capsule is unbreakable in order to guarantee the origin of each bottle (estate, vintage, transport conditions, …). Consequently, it can not be reused for another bottle. Anyway, it can be thrown in the glass container after use: the glass bottle will be recycled as any other bottle ; the plastic and metallic components of the capsule will be separated on the sorting line (same as metallic lids or pouring spouts).
