It's much worse for the environment to destroy the existing truck and create another to replace it.
Perhaps he should do a go fund me and get a secondhand catalytic converter.
In the UK you can set a vehicle to "off road" if there's a problem like this, It has to be kept at a known address and not parked on the road. It can be kept indefinitely or until it meets requirements. Nobody asks you to destroy it.
The way I read the article, the state wasn't asking the guy to destroy the truck. In fact, they were pushing him to fix it back to original condition, but that would cost $10,000 and he didn't want to spend money that way.
