Suntech and Reclaim partner on PV module recycling
Solar manufacturer SF Suntech Australia (Suntech) has announced a partnership with Reclaim PV Recycling, a waste management company that focuses on reclaiming PV modules. The manufacturer’s managing director, Hui Wu, said Suntech is “proud to work with Reclaim to set new solar industry standards for management of PV waste disposal”.
As a company committed to selling high-efficiency, high-quality modules, Suntech also prides itself on sustainable business practices. The company was recently awarded the first Reclaim certificate in Australia for recycling 84 of its damaged or non-operational warranty modules.
“Reclaim has developed an efficient, scalable system for the recycling of PV module components,” said Wu. “This is an important step towards industry sustainability as solar energy becomes increasingly accessible and more prevalent, while the industry continues to invest in R&D and improve solar technology.”
