When all the pickles in a jar have been used, up to 30% of the container is still full of vinegar.
It may be coloured, of flavoured, or have herbs or spices in it - but, as a preservative, it's still fully functional.
The idea is to introduce a wide-scale vinegar recycling scheme. Consumers would
be encouraged to take their used vinegar to recycling centres, where there would be containers for "light", "dark", and "other"
The vinegar would be filtered and if neccessary a bit more acetic acid is added, then sold for re-use - it would probably be fine on fish and chips, for example.

You think anyone wants that nasty old vinegar? I can imagine how you fish about for those last 2 pickles with your grubby pickle-grabbers, particules floating off into the sauce from the accumulated hoard under your fingernails. Not that there is anything wrong with any of that. |

good place to store hard-boiled eggs. |

No, I think they only accept vinegar. |

Here in Philadelphia there is such a thing as a "pickleback"
The pickle juice is drunk just after a shot of bad whiskey to
mask the flavor. I'm not sure if that shows dedication or
weakness. |

Full approval freely given to an excellent idea, and smell of complete croissant awarded! this is it [ ' ] |

More of an admirable sense of economy, actually... |

They do sell distilled vinegar. It ought to be cheaper to
make distilled vinegar from contaminated vinegar than
having to do all that fermentation. |

And pragmatism. There is a strain of American drinking
designed to quickly and cheaply solve the problem of
sobriety. |

Yup. Pittsburgh will do that to you every time. |

One might pour the residual brine into a largish saucer and park it on a
shelf. As one breezes through the room in search of a cold one or more
ammunition the spicy scent of pickles will greet and delight the olfactory
senses, reminding oneself that more pickles should be purchased,
preferably the spicy garlic dills. |

I ingest a swig full of Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar every
morning. It's murky and has stuff in it. I do it for my health. I
love vinegar. So I love this idea. + |

According to wikipedia, about a quarter of the world's acetic acid is
reused: |
|
|
::The global demand for acetic acid is about 6.5 million metric tons per
year (Mt/a), of which approximately 1.5 Mt/a is met by recycling; the
remainder is manufactured from petrochemical feedstock. |
