>That means that, in normal times, hotels go through ~3.3m bars of soap every day. ... >Every year, it has been estimated that the hospitality industry generates ~440B pounds of solid waste — much of it soap and bottled amenities. Innumeracy. Based on these numbers, and assuming a bar of hotel soap is 2 ounces, that means that bars of soap are 3.3 * 365 / 1000 (millions in a billion) / 8 / 440 or about 0.03 percent of the solid waste generated by hotels. "Much of it" indeed.
