I don't think so, polycarbonate is unusual for this application.  If I had to guess
I would say it is ABS (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acrylonitrile_butadiene_styrene).
If you examine the inside of the lid you may be lucky enough to find the
manufacturing markings.  If there is a recycle symbol then the number associated
with that symbol will give you the material.  Otherwise they may have actually
written what the material is.
