Unfortunately, the villains want to use the last remnants of TGRI's mutagen to create mutants to take down the Turtles, and for this purpose [[KidnappedScientist kidnap one of their scientists]].

* ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooMysteryIncorporated'': Destroido is responsible for a lot of pollution; among other things its runoff has turns avocados into monsters and mutated multiple animals into hybrids. Even their legitimate products aren't safe, as one hoax of the week involves a guy as a monster bear who pretty much only needed a bear mask because Destroido shampoo made thick hair sprout all over his body.

[[spoiler: The series finale's CosmicRetcon has it become the more environmentally-friendly Creationex instead.]]

* ''VideoGame/StardewValley'': The megacorporation [=JojaMart=] are the main antagonists of the game, and they are clearly the source of much of the pollution in Stardew Valley. Two of the most common pieces of trash that can be fished up are Joja Cola cans and broken Joja internet trial CDs.

* ''Series/TrueDetective'': Silver Sky Mining in Season 4. Their pollution affects the mostly Indigenous population, as they can no longer hunt or fish to supplement the high cost of food. [[spoiler: 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 "[[Recap/TrueDetectiveS4E06Part6 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.]]

* ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}'': ComicBook/TheJoker's traditional birthplace Ace/Axis Chemicals is always depicted as a hideous ([[NoOSHACompliance and generally unsafe]]) industrial husk that seems to have no output besides scads and scads of toxic runoff into local rivers. Creator/EdBrubaker's ''The Man Who Laughs'' explicitly plays on this, suggesting the Joker's debut caper of poisoning Gotham's entire water supply is his idea of PoeticJustice on a city that let this go on for so long.

This trope can be considered a very blatant example of an EcocidalAntagonist. Contrast MuckMonster, a creature of living pollution that may very well result from Evil, Inc.'s activities. If the enterprise is also a factory (and it most likely is), it can also [[NoOSHACompliance be dangerous for the workers]]. Such enterprises usually appear in and heavily contribute to {{Crapsack World}}s. 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 GreenAesop-centered work of fiction, either. In video games, it's a common setup for an EternalEngine level.
