The opposite of eco-friendly?

This made me baffled for a long time - what would be the opposite, without any workarounds? Could be say unecological? Does it sound right? While we are at it, is ecological the same as eco-friendly?

Hello Clive, thanks for the answer. Now it's clear to me with ecology, thanks. I am not sure if I would find courage to use eco-unfriendly though

eco-unfriendly = polluting

But it depends on the kind of damage that is being done.

Thank you AlpheccaStars! I can see the limits here, but this is a nice option for me to use. What about such case: I have a plastic bottle with juice and I want to say that it is not eco-friendly by using one word. Any ideas?
