Not sure how easy it would be to recycle those as chips, given it will have dopants [1] inside. It will likely be unfit for computing applications unless purified, but since it's on the order of one dopant atom per 1e12 silicon atoms, it would basically be 100% pure in other industries. Some metallic contacts (mostly aluminium), silicon oxide and other residues are likely present as well, depending on the masking process.
