This article ends with what seems one of the worst cases of green washings I have seen in a long time.

"Diversey, a leading provider of hotel hygiene products, has repurposed 25m bars of soap since 2013"

The article claims that in a single day 3.3 million bars of soap are partially used in the US. So in nearly 10 years Diversey has repurposed the equivalent of roughly one week. I don't want to bash Diversey, if they are a startup or small company I would find this a great achievement. But if they are a major player, lets say with a market cap of 20%, the sold 2.4 billion bars of soap in the same time.
