Toxic, Inc.	comment	In many Green Aesop shows, it seems like the big corporations just want to ruin the environment. This trope applies to every fictional company that causes pollution to extreme levels. Predatory Big Pharma are common culprits. It of course applies to companies owned by people fully aware of what they're doing and who keep going anyway. Sometimes, what they sell isn't even known; at other times, we know what they're producing, and it could be an aggravating factor, depending on the product. Sometimes, the owner of the company is barely aware of all the destruction caused by the enterprise. It might come off as a surprise, or be discovered by that owner in a dramatic manner. The fact that this person was unaware of the full extent of environmental damage makes the situation even worse. Other times, the owner is aware. The owner of such a company is usually rich, so that he can hire villains to get rid of the heroes, or pull himself out of any lawsuit thrown at him with his Amoral Attorney. This trope can be considered a very blatant example of an Ecocidal Antagonist. Contrast Muck Monster, a creature of living pollution that may very well result from Toxic, Inc.'s activities. If the enterprise is also a factory (and it most likely is), it can also be dangerous for the workers. Such enterprises usually appear in and heavily contribute to Crapsack Worlds. These can become Anvilicious due to the strong relation to Green Aesops. Again, those enterprises don't necessarily pollute the environment and might instead damage the ecosystem of a part of the world. It doesn't have to be in a Green Aesop-centered work of fiction, either. In video games, it's a common setup for an Eternal Engine level. Compare Evil, Inc., which may overlap with this one. Contrast Greenwashed Villainy, where a corporation still pollutes but pretends that they don't.

Toxic, Inc. / int_261c8d3f	comment	The Simpsons: Burns' power plant is responsible for a lot of environmental disasters surrounding Springfield, and all the jokes the staff can think up to go with the mutations caused to the fish. Remember Blinky? In "The Old Man and the Lisa", Mr. Burns discovers the joys of recycling thanks to Lisa, and to thank her, he builds a factory that bears her name. However, Little Lisa's Patented Animal Slurry uses millions of six-pack plastic holders stuck together to clean up the seafloor, grabbing plants and animals, and turning them to a multi-purpose compound. He destroyed the ecosystem of the seas surrounding Springfield. Definitely an aggravating factor. In the Death Tome segment of the 2022 Treehouse of Horror, Burns operates a company called "Globo-Warm" whose sole purpose is to melt the ice caps and raise the sea levels enough so that Burns can dock his yacht directly outside of his currently landlocked house.

Team Kirby Clash Deluxe has the Mad Scientist Flask as purchasable equipment for the Doctor Healmore role, filled with some purple liquid and labelled with an ominous black skull.

Toxic, Inc. / int_3aabfec3	comment	Captain Planet and the Planeteers is pretty much built around this trope. The show is already a heavy Green Aesop series, and most villains are over-the-top greedy polluters of one kind or another. Between all of these various villains, there's got to be quite a few companies bent on polluting. Probably an Enforced Trope, as a more realistic characterization might cause young viewers to think poorly of real adults working in similar industries.

They're always cutting corners, bribing inspectors, dumping toxic pollutants into major waterways, etc. It's often used as a competitor to contrast more ethically run companies like Stark Industries or the Rand Corporation. In fact, they aren't merely careless, they're specifically wrecking the environment so they can make money off of the aftereffects. They seed invasive species, have mobile factories that even Latverian politicians are appalled by, and are planning on unleashing genetically modified, always-starving bears to render wild salmon extinct so they have the monopoly on the fish. A recurring trope in the Ravage 2099 title of the Marvel 2099. Alchemax has a terrible environmental record, and their hazardous waste removal division is pretty much devoted exclusively to executing anyone who calls attention to their corruption, on the pretext of them being "polluters".

Scrooge's own companies have the potential to be this. He's painfully aware of this... so he makes sure to have his companies surprise inspected by the Junior Woodchucks, that he trusts to know what they're doing and tell him immediately of every violation they find. Any manager trying to cut corners will then discover just how powerful Scrooge's voice is as he fires them through the phone.

Their pollution affects the mostly Indigenous population, as they can no longer hunt or fish to supplement the high cost of food. In "Part 5" Danvers learns that the Tsalal research station fabricated pollution numbers to make it seem like Silver Sky is less harmful than it actually is. In "Part 6" one of the station's scientist reveals that they were quietly encouraging the mine to pollute even more because the contamination enabled them to get better results in their research.

Toxic, Inc. / int_cd44d3d6	comment	Four of the later stages in Crash Bandicoot (1996) take place within Cortex Power, a nuclear power plant built by Neo Cortex and managed by Pinstripe Potoroo and his gang. The power plant in question is unsafe and dirty, and is responsible for polluting the nearby bay with radioactive waste. Cortex Power is shut down during the events of the game (Pinstripe Potoroo accidentally shoots out the main reactor when he is defeated), but this seems to cause a blackout in the later stages set inside Cortex's Castle.

Toxic, Inc. / int_d390d6f9	comment	A recurring trope in the Ravage 2099 title of the Marvel 2099. Alchemax has a terrible environmental record, and their hazardous waste removal division is pretty much devoted exclusively to executing anyone who calls attention to their corruption, on the pretext of them being "polluters".

Toxic, Inc. / int_da1a8fe9	comment	Team Kirby Clash Deluxe has the Mad Scientist Flask as purchasable equipment for the Doctor Healmore role, filled with some purple liquid and labelled with an ominous black skull. The Flavor Text states that it's rumored to have been created by a "notorious technology company," likely referring to the Haltmann Works Company.

Toxic, Inc. / int_ea4f62db	comment	Family Guy: In "It Takes a Village Idiot, And I Married One", Lois discovers that Lake Quahog is severely polluted and that a local oil refinery is responsible, and since Mayor Adam West authorized their dumping toxins into the lake, she runs for mayor against him. When she wins, she has the lake cleaned up and prohibits further dumping, but embezzles the leftover cleanup funds, and is soon bribed by the company executive into allowing them to dump toxins in the lake again. There's even a ribbon-cutting ceremony re-opening the pipe dumping the toxins. Santa's workshop in "Road to the North Pole". Its chimneys are spreading pollution in the air, and large pipes spill even more pollution in the North Pole. Oh, and considering this part of the world is already directly affected by all the pollution, it only makes things worse...

Toxic, Inc. / int_eec04867	comment	Dirk Pitt Adventures: In Sahara, Dirk Pitt discovers that a solar waste incinerating business in Mali is a sham; they're dumping the highly toxic waste into an underground river which further on empties into the Niger. The waste not only causes the sea flora to grow uncontrollably, endangering the sea ecosystem, but also causes people drinking from the contaminated water to become crazy, cannibalistic beasts. In the end, Dirk Pitt first stakes out the owner of the facility in the desert heat, ostensibly to force him to confess. However, when Massard (the culprit) doesn't, he finally releases him and gives him a drink of cold, fresh water — water that he picked up from a poisoned well a bit along the underground river. Afterwards, Pitt confesses to his associate that he did the whole staking bit only so Massard wouldn't question the water and wouldn't notice the metallic taste.

Dyna-Tox is less egregious than most, given that the company's core business is toxic waste management and disposal, but the unspoken "we're 'disposing' of it by dumping it into clean rivers and oceans" part is implicit in their evil-sounding name.
