Bolding mine. Sorenson was quite forthright, and yet the reduction in plastic use and consumption is absolutely significant. This is good environmental progress, and it's good business. A rare combo, indeed.

Still, haters gonna hate.
Find me the numbers on how much Marriott saves in cost each year based on this. That would be much more interesting information. If 1.7 million lbs is a 30% savings in plastic, that still leaves quite a bit, big bottles or not.
