Really feels like we should figure out the recycling angle on a thing as an intrinsic part of the design phase…

It actually is. I think the DoD required it at some point, it became apparent with destabilizing aging explosives and nuclear power and weapons that it was vital, as well as dismantling anything that the enemy could gain knowledge from.

However, like most good things, it's rarely implemented where it's not required.

DoD calls it life cycle engineering, and it's basically standard for anything but software. Problem is that corporations aren't required to do anything like that.
