Hi,

We have a project that sent the concrete waste to landfill and the concrete waste is reused as a paving material for a landfill's road. Is it eligible for score for this credit as the requirement is to "diverted from landfill through reuse/ recycling"?

Thank you.

Hi ST Tan, I would secure a declaration letter from the entity who is managing the landfill that the concrete wastes are being reused or recycled. Additional documents such as photos, receipts, methodologies, etc as evidence to support the your case.

FAQs about MRc2:

How is construction waste accounted for when utilizing off-site construction, like modular construction or pre-fabrication of assemblies?

How does MRc2 work for projects pursuing a campus approach, or any project where waste management will be shared with other construction projects?

Can materials that have been unused and returned to the manufacturer as part of a “take-back” program contribute to the credit?

Should I include hazardous material such as lead-based paint in MRc2 calculations?

Should household-type trash from workers' lunches and office use be included in MRc2 diversion and calculations?

Can sending material to waste-to-energy plants count toward MRc2?

The requirements of this credit say that land-clearing debris does not contribute to the percentage of materials diverted from the landfill. What exactly is considered "land clearing debris"?

Oops! Our trash was measured by both weight and volume at different times. How do I standardize this?

The waste management facility we are using is providing us with monthly documentation specific to our waste, showing 80% diversion. They also have a published, facility-wide rate of roughly 20%, and they have no published rate for construction waste. Will
