FAQs about MRc6 :

Can the waste audit include a sample selection of waste generated at the project building (i.e. waste from the first floor only)?

Does food waste need to be sorted through?

If a tenant in the project building pays a paper shredding company to shred and dispose of confidential documents, does the shredded paper waste need to be accounted for in the waste audit?

A project building conducted a waste audit over two years ago. Can the project team use that waste audit to comply with the requirements of MRc6?

EBOM-2009 MRc6:Solid Waste Management—Waste Stream Audit

cardboard and paper

We are doing a waste audit and we evaluate metals, mixed paper, cardboard, glass, plastics, batteries, and fluorescent lamps. However we evaluated the categories paper and cardboard together, not separately. Is it a requirement to measure cardboard and paper separately or can we evaluate them together as one category?

Hi Emmanuel, If you have already completed the waste audit my advice would be to use the data you have, as is. I don't believe this is something that would get flagged by reviewers, other than an educational note. However, for future waste audits, it is best practice to measure the cardboard and mixed paper separately. On the credit form, LEED has these materials separated as different line items. Hope this helps!
