The afterlife of used hotel soap

Re:The afterlife of used hotel soap by mrmattyboy on Sunday April 24, 2022 @02:16PM (#31146646)

So what about something like:

* US charity that recycles US-hotel used soap

* The recycled soap is resold in US as a charitable item

* Profits from recycled soap sales are used to help fund/grow 3rd world soap manufacturers, or to help them lower the cost to make it, or subsidise the cost to more available to citizens of their country

I see your point and, I know it seems a little roundabout, but could this solve the issue?

Depends on whether you want the people to have soap, or their local strongman to have a soap-money-financed golden AK47.

If it brings the price of gold AK47s down for average Americans I’ll take option 2

I think it would be worth a try!
