"Beijing residents might be asked to separate only their kitchen garbage for now before being asked to classify all their household waste, experts said.
Six hundred communities in the Chinese capital adopted a pilot program for garbage classification in 2012. The municipal government hopes the program can reach 60 percent of residents this year, according to a government work report...
...Ren Lianhai, a professor at Beijing Technology and Business University's environmental science and engineering department, agreed with Wang, saying the most feasible way of sorting garbage is isolating kitchen garbage from the rest.
"It's not practical to come up with a detailed waste classification system as complex as that in Japan, as Beijing is not yet prepared in terms of its facilities and public awareness," he said.
"However, distinguishing kitchen waste, which contains a lot of moisture and humidity, will make the follow-up garbage treatment easier."

Obviously, the use of recyclable kitchen waste bags are an important part of this process - sounds like 2013 will be a breakthrough year for Cardia and all things being equal, the other China trials should convert to contracts and as per the latest update, sounds like more regions will come online.
