Are they recyclable?

Corrugated cardboard has 80%+ recycling rate in the UK
Remove plastic tape before recycling

Quick answer

Yes, double wall boxes are fully recyclable through kerbside collections. They are corrugated cardboard, the same recyclable material as single wall boxes and cardboard packaging. Flatten, remove plastic tape and non-paper elements, and place in cardboard recycling. Paper tape can stay on. The double wall construction does not affect recyclability. Cardboard can be recycled 5-7 times.
