Except Apple has NOT confirmed that they actually recycle these new models with glued components. In fact their official response* dodged this question, directing attention to other aspects of their green efforts. But no word on the key design change, the gluing of components that would need to be separated in order to be recycled.

Does Marco have a source for his claim that Apple actually recycles the new models if you bring them back?
