> What kind of soulless, dead-eyed scumbag do you have to be to wilfully introduce something so utterly pointless and utterly destructive just to sell more shampoo? If it's the cheaper solution, of course there's going to be someone trying to sell it. If it sells it will give the company an economic competitive advantage and other companies will be tempted to follow suite in order to keep up with the competition. Some other company will try to market a shampoo without the plastic beads, at a premium price. Most consumers wont have the money (or interest) to vote with their wallets and so plastic beads will continue to fill or oceans. Looks like capitalism at work to me.
