How difficult/expensive is it to recycle the material? i.e. if one had some sort of wonder-generator based on it, would it make sense to use a model where once

How difficult/expensive is it to recycle the material? i.e. if one had some sort of wonder-generator based on it, would it make sense to use a model where once per year, the owner sends the nitinol pieces back to the manufacturer (who recycles them) in exchange for a discount on replacements? I assume since titanium is part of the alloy, just discarding it after use is probably not great from a cost perspective.
