SINGAPORE, July 27, 2022 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

Maxeon Solar Technologies, Ltd. (NASDAQ: MAXN), a global leader in solar 
innovation and channels, and Reclaim PV Recycling, Australia's leading end to 
end solar panel recovery and recycling business, today announced they have 
entered into a partnership to support the recycling of SunPower branded solar 
panels from Maxeon in Australia.

The partnership with Reclaim PV will ensure SunPower panels that have come to 
the end of their useful lives will be recycled and not discarded into landfill. 

"At Maxeon, we take sustainability very seriously and continue to innovate by 
developing more efficient, more sustainable and longer-lasting panels that ease 
the burden of the recycling process and ensure a positive impact on people and 
the planet," said Chris O'Brien, Vice President APAC at Maxeon Solar 
Technologies. "Our partnership with Reclaim PV in Australia is a tangible 
demonstration of our commitment to ESG principles and goals, similar to our 
Cradle-to-Cradle certification which is the global standard for products that 
are safe, circular and responsibly made."

Commenting on the partnership, Clive Fleming, Director of Reclaim PV Recycling 
said "Maxeon is one of the first manufacturers to adopt responsible recycling 
in their supply chain and to partner with Reclaim PV to help solve the PV 
recycling challenge that Australia is facing. We look forward to continuing to 
work with them to keep solar panels out of landfill."

Reclaim PV provides services beyond collection and recycling. The company will 
collect and store important information on the materials in the panels it 
recycles. This additional data collection service will help to build a complete 
and transparent picture of the materials being extracted from the solar panels 
and where they are supplied back into Australian supply chains, with a CO2 
offset value calculated to show the positive effects of recycling.

"The importance of the data recording and supply mapping process is that we are 
able to bring transparency to the material recovery and supply process and can 
now make informed decisions on how we can in part replace the use of virgin 
mined materials within other industries with recycled materials from solar 
panels. This is something that both Reclaim PV and Maxeon see as having huge 
potential for both the solar panel supply chain and the entire circular 
economy," concluded Mr. Fleming.

Maxeon continues to support ESG both globally and locally in Australia. The 
company is a signatory to the Australian Packaging Covenant which reflects its 
commitment to the collective national effort in Australia to manage packaging 
waste.

panel materials so that no material is dumped in landfill. Reclaim PV has 
facilities in both South Australia and Queensland and continues to drive

Reclaim's robust recycling process utilises Pyrolysis - a well-known thermal
