Yeah, you could be right that it is just for the feel good press to make them look good. Look at clothes donations. It tanks local textile industries and they’re sometimes stuck with piles upon piles of used clothes that don’t even look nice. Maybe there’s something similar happening here.

Yummy, glad to be using some rando’s used soap. But on a more serious note as long as it’s being done in a way that is sanitary and doesn’t risk spreading any diseases then this is much better than producing all that waste.
