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.
One of the people involved in getting this program going has commented on this thread. You should ask them about that. I’d be curious to know the answer.
