If Apple gets its hands on the phone they have an impressive system for recycling: http://www.businessinsider.com/apple-liam-iphone-recycling-robot-photos-video-2017-4 http://www.businessinsider.com/apple-liam-iphone-recycling-r... I could not find a reliable source for what portion of each phone is recycled, but Apple is certainly not slacking on the recycling front.

As far as I can tell, Liam is just an R&D project - it's not something they've put into actual production. E.g. from the 2017 environmental report > For example, we’ve melted down iPhone 6 aluminum enclosures recovered from Liam to make Mac mini computers for use in our factories It's only recovered enough aluminum to build a couple of Mac minis for their own internal use
