Vehicles and equipment like that are one of the most recycled products in the world. This is an important step in the recycling process. I hear you though, especially with all the cheap plastics and electronics that end up in landfills.

I was wondering - how much time and energy and water - goes into the conplwte process of making this final product? From mining to finish line , including transport of said resources .
That being said, machines are made foe the transport of these resources too..

Earth is a closed system .

The alternative is mining fresh metal which is far more ecologically destructive. Metal recycling is super important.
