Millimeter-wave imaging may be used to assist in\ud the problem of wastepaper recognition during the sorting and\ud recycling process. Currently, there are a variety of techniques,\ud which are used within materials recovery facilities to sort waste\ud paper and card; however, improvements in sorting capability can\ud be realized using a multiple sensors to provide complementary\ud (orthogonal) data. This paper discusses the issues related to\ud the processes, which are currently used for sorting of recycled\ud wastepaper and the phenomenology for millimeter-wave imaging\ud of a wastepaper material. Experimental measurements and\ud images in the millimeter wave band are presented, which support\ud the proposed application.
