This is literally the reason why free markets are the bane of all that is good. Sure, it's nice to get the shinies quickly and cheaply, but then you find out the cost of that is how the world is being torn apart because it's cheaper to do it that way.
The only solution is government regulations to force companies to become responsible for their actions. And the only way to have that is for politicians who think about the country first and have the will to enact the necessary change.
I mean, down south the erosion of government regulations is bringing back child labour. Imagine a 15yo working in a steel mill, as it's recently been legalized in some states.
Government regulations??? That sounds like socialism!!! Oh, and can I get a couple billion dollars in tax money to cover my expenses? Which is totally not socialism how dare you!!!
