"$30M Worth of Funko Pops End Up in Landfill"

Images have emerged of unopened boxes of Funko Pop! figures, worth $30 million, at dumps and landfills after the pop culture collectible company announced it was going to throw them away due to overstocking. Before being dumped, the boxes are shredded and sorted for recycling or landfill. Funko has been paying high rental fees to store additional stock in shipping containers until it can find space for them. The move to trash them is apparently cheaper than finding storage space. The wastefulness and corporate greed at the expense of consumers has been criticised.
