>"Seipler did some back-of-the-napkin math and realized that millions of bars of perfectly salvageable soap were going to waste.".
>"Its biggest partner, Hilton, which signed on all of its worldwide locations in 2019, has contributed 14.5m bars of soap in less than 3 years."
>"hotels go through ~3.3m bars of soap every day."
That sounds like a primary environmental concern and a pretty large one at that.
>"Stop the waste at the source with refillable dispensers. Mandate better packaging or eliminate the packaging entirely"
The hotel industry has virtually no interest into committing to any these changes because they generate so little PR value. No one's going to Embassy Suites because they care about the environment. This solution is at the very least a passive opportunity for companies like Hilton, to reduce waste.
