Hyatt has maybe 250,000 rooms globally. At 50% average occupancy that's 45,000,000 sets of toiletries per year, maybe 100-150 million plastic bottles per year. If the plastic is 1/4 oz that's about 750 tons. If one barrel of oil can be perfectly converted to plastic that's 5000 barrels of oil at 300lbs each. That's 0.00007% of annual US oil consumption.
