The complete Bollegraaf sorting system, supplied by Van Dyk Baler Corp., Stamford, Conn., features a Lubo OCC (old corrugated container) screen, a Lubo ONP (old newspaper)/French screen and a Lubo fines screen for sorting ONP, OCC, glass, PET (polyethylene terephthalate), colored HDPE (high-density polyethylene), natural HDPE and aluminum and ferrous metals.
