Product Lifecycle Green Management
Product Lifecycle Management
Since its establishment 25 years ago, Trina Solar has been both a producer of green energy and apractitioner of green development. We not only produce clean electricity through photovoltaic modules,
but also contribute to the transition to green and low-carbon manufacturing.
Trina Solar has always attached great importance to carbon emission control in all aspects of themodule's life cycle. In the low-carbon design process, we systematically consider the impact on
resources and the environment in the selection, production, distribution, use, recycling, and disposalof raw materials, and strive to use as many harmless raw materials as possible to achieve a green andlow-carbon development. In 2022, Trina Solar received a national certification as an "Industrial ProductGreen Design Demonstration Enterprise". In addition, in 2021, we received the world's first mutual
recognition marks from UL Solutions and Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) in the PV industry.
During the Reporting Period, Trina Solar's full series of 210 Vertex modules received the Life Cycle
Assessment (LCA) certification for PV modules from TÜV Rheinland, making us the first PV company tocomplete the generic LCA certification for 210 PV modules.

Trina Solar's Full Series of 210 Vertex Modules Received LCA Certification for

Case

Full Lifecycle Low-carbon Management
The Life Cycle Assessment is based on the life cycle assessment methods and requirementsof ISO 14040/ISO 14044, and is a scientific and rigorous test of the evaluation targets. Basedon the LCA, Trina Solar has conducted a comprehensive analysis of more than ten indicatorsthat affect the global ecological environment, including energy consumption, raw material
consumption, acid rain, eutrophication, environmental toxins, waste, and other thousands ofsubstances collected from the Vertex modules.
During the Reporting Period, Trina Solar's products submitted for testing and approval
covered the full series of monocrystalline P-type 210 size PV modules from the Vertex S
410W to the Vertex 670W; the manufacturing factories include all major production basesaround the world. Trina Solar's Vertex series modules have the lowest carbon emissions
per unit (per watt) in the industry during the manufacturing process. The average carbon
emission of domestic PV modules is over 550g per watt, while the carbon emission of Trina
Solar 210 Vertex modules is within 400g per watt without the use of special silicon materials,
which is more than 30% lower than the domestic average. Taking the 30-year product life
cycle as an example, Trina Solar Vertex Series modules have an emission factor of less than
0.01 kWh.

Package Material Management
Trina Solar supports and practices material recycling, and actively works with upstream anddownstream suppliers to track and recycle packaging materials of products.
Trina Solar's packaging material recycling categories include cartons, cardboard, wood boards, plastic
tubes, welded tape turnaround packages, cell turnaround packages, glass and iron pallets, etc. We haveestablished and implemented a production-warehouse-purchase integrated package recycling process.
In the production process, we carefully sort and pack the recycled packages; in the procurement
process, we contact the recycling suppliers according to the production and transportation situation
to improve the efficiency of package recycling; in the warehouse process, we follow the internal"Packaging Material Recycling Operation Guideline" and register the information and quantity of
products to be recycled and the actual package recycling ledger daily.
In 2022, our package recycling rate was approximately 80%.
