After all, the 95 tonnes of Ali you would harvest would get you about $85,000 if you do the job properly.
However, if you do the job improperly, you still get some money for the mix of all different metals and alloys but it is so much cheaper to just smash.
This Aluminum is probably not becoming an aircraft again, but wrapping foil or beer cans. Which is also an acceptable way of recycling, although it means a downgrade it still saves resources.
The term recycling is misused these days regularly, because often we do just "recycle" the energy content in the materials (typically plastics) by burning them. They seriously call that "thermal recycling"... And it is not new, we already burned used tyres in the cement industry more than half a century ago.
