Commercial entities have to pay for their waste to be taken away where I am so they make at least some feeble attempts at reducing waste. Just rack up the price of landfill until no one will pay to use it or just forbid landfill for pretty much everything and you will solve that problem and generate business opportunities for new solutions.

You might "solve" the problem of landfills being used, at the expense of additional resources (eg. labor, energy, capital) being devoted to doing the same stuff (ie. getting rid of waste). I'm skeptical the trade-off is worth it, considering that soap isn't super toxic, landfills are lined anyways, and that we're not exactly running out of landfill space any time soon.
