Besides environmental concerns, there are financial ones as well, among many others.
Taxing would be the word. And I wasn't taking other factors into account at the time.

True. I imagine it would be less environmentally taxing to salvage such parts off cars which would otherwise be crushed, Though; Lots of cars with good parts go through crushers and shredders often. But here I am going on and on and one can hear both sides of the argument; The overall point is if you can do the same thing on/with less, Great.
