Interesting they mentioned Apple's Daisy. I feel that Apple gets an unfair amount of criticism for their lack of ewaste initiatives but none or very little is attributed to other smartphone OEMs like Samsung.
Most of the attention stems from organizations like Greenpeace which tend to attack high profile targets in ways that are as much self serving as they are beneficial if not more so.
* Regarding Daisy, I'd be curious to hear how it handles damaged iPhones. Can it and to what degree? What percentage of iPhones can be recycled by it? I fear that any iPhone that's compromised won't be recycled out of concern for breaking the recycling machine.
