The No. 4 Slag Fuming Project, Dave Goosen, Business Development Manager, Teck Trail Operations.

About No 4 Slag Fuming Project
Teck Resources Limited will invest $210 million in the No. 4 Furnace Project at its Trail Operations to significantly increase its capacity to recycle end-of-life electronic waste (e-waste) and to improve its long-term viability.   The No. 4 Furnace Project at Trail Operations includes the construction of a new slag fuming furnace and settling furnace that will integrate into the existing lead smelting process. Construction on the project will begin in 2012 with completion scheduled for 2014.  In 2010, Trail Operations recycled just over 13,000 tonnes of e-waste, and this project will significantly increase Trail’s  capacity to recycle end-of-life electronic components, helping to keep them out of landfills and allowing for the recovery and reuse of valuable metals.
 
E-Waste Process Fact
Electronic waste (e-waste) is the fastest growing waste in North America. According to Environment Canada, over 140,000 tonnes of end-of-life electronics are sent to landfills in Canada each year. To address this critical problem, Teck Trail Operations - in consultation with the BC Ministry of Environment - developed an electronics recycling process, which meets all of the provincial government’s environmental performance requirements. By recycling end-of-life electronics, Teck produces metals that don’t have to be mined.

Popsicle Bridge Competition 2009 - Info Sheet

The basic idea is for children of all ages to:

- Build a bridge with white glue and 100 Popsicle Sticks
- Bring the bridge to the contest and watch it get destroyed when tested
- Learn about bridge building and bridge failure
- Maybe win some prize money
- Most importantly, have some fun
