RE: Sensor
You'll need to provide details if the application. Is this for sorting or separating recyclables from waste streams? If so, that's a mostly solved problem based on what I've seen in recycling facilities.

I'm not sure how a sensor could distinguish between a sheet of paper and a similar sheet of plastic. The Mars Rover has a laser that can fry a sample many meters away and then read the spectrum to determine chemical composition. Obviously anything is possible, but practical?
Some places shed everything, soak the paper waste to make pulp, and then skim off the plastic bits that got through.
