We are doing a commercial interiors project, however the interior is a more residential style. We are in the process of finding blinds that meet MR Credit 4, Recycled content criteria. Does anyone know of any products that meet this and are in the price range of typical residential blinds. We are having trouble finding LEED product data for residential blinds.

Ryan, you may already be on top of this, but I think it's important to reframe this question a little bit. There is no such thing as a product that meets the MRc4 criteria. What you are looking for is for your materials budget as a whole to have enough recycled content to meet the credit thresholds. It's possible and likely that many purchases will have zero verifiable recycled content, but they're balanced by purchases that do. If you read our advice above under the Bird's Eye View and Checklists tabs, we have some tips on how to do this—focusing on big-ticket items, for example.That being said, I can't recommend specific blinds that have high recycled content. From a Google search for "recycled content blinds," however, it looks like there are a bunch out there.Is this helpful?
