Any reduction in plastic will be minimal. Perhaps they're able to recycle the larger bottles easier, however the reality is this relies on thousands of housekeeping staff taking the time/effort to actually sort through these things which may or may not happen in many cases. This is entirely a cost reduction for Marriott wrapped up in marketing that will keep customers on board. This has nothing to do with the company caring about the environment.
