The H3 has a very favorable end of vehicle life; meaning, after it has been retired to the junk yard, it is very recyclable. Can't speak for any non-GM vehicles, but I will say anything with a large number of lead acid batteries is very unfriendly to the environment. The old EV1, that GM marketed in 1997 and 1999 were extremely expensive to destroy due to the 27 lead acid batteries contained in the belly of the beast.
