Sandbekk in Morgenbladet:
In today's Morgenbladet, an article about the history of the titanium dioxide is on the front page!
A long and very interesting report on the research project that Marte Johnslien and Ingrid Halland are conducting on the complexity of the white pigment titanium dioxide's history from patenting that took place at Sandbekk where Velferden is located, and forward through the century to how this industry works today.
Velferden's programme : WASTE / DEPOSIT
Over the next few years, Velferden will be working on the theme of WASTE / DEPOSIT, which takes a closer look at issues surrounding the historical, current and future disposal of tailings from mining operations in the Sokndal and Dalane region. The program consists of visits, work stays for immersion and production, courses, exhibitions and seminars.
