beverage bought in a plastic bottle must be consumed on premises

Interesting.

Beverage waste is huge. My locale recycles aggressively. Including a separate waste stream for compost (for better or worse).

Seeking to further reduce their waste stream, my local university assessed what's what. Something like 50% of the waste by weight is fluids. From sodas, lattes, etc.

Since attending that talk, I was trying to imagine a trashbin that would puncture beverage containers, letting the fluid drain out the bottom.

I like your (Asian on premises) solution better.
