a phrase you may be hearing more and more

'active disassembly'

also, 'disassembly line'

Nokia has designed a phone that, under very specific heating from (picture Dr. Evil finger quotes) lasers, will activate shape memory alloy, which will pop open and allow the other components of the phone to basically fall out. Evidently it costs between 3 and 8 cents per phone to manually crack the thing open to take out the battery before it's shredded and partially recycled. This way, once the disassembly line and switch to (Dr. Evil finger quotes again) shape memory alloy is paid for, recycling will be much closer to free for the company (they're being motivated by increasingly strict recycling laws).

How long before active disassembly isn't novel, just an obvious step unworthy of much outside chatter?
