FAQs about MRc4 :

I have recycled content information for a product, but it doesn’t specify whether it is pre-consumer or post-consumer. What should I do?

The recycled content percentage on the product data sheet is given as a range. What should I do?

The manufacturer can't give me product-specific recycled content data, but they say that they fall within the national industry average. Can I use that?

Is the default average recycled content value of 25% for steel still allowed?

Can site materials, such as soil, be included in the MR credit calculations?

Are there recycled content claims that I should be wary of?

Can I count FSC-certified MDF toward both MRc4 and MRc7?

If I have one cut sheet that meets the LEED 2009 requirement to upload 20% of cut sheets by cost, for this credit, is that acceptable?

CI-2009 MRc4:Recycled Content

Confidential Materials Cost Budget

This LEED CI project would like to maintain privacy in regards to their materials budget. This conflicts with our need to compare construction cost and new material costs for such credits as “Recycled Content.” Is there another method to use for comparison acceptable to LEED, in order to keep the costs confidential?

Simply, no. However when you registered the project it asked you if the project needed to remain confidential. So as long as you checked yes on that box at the very begining you should be able to convince your owner that their information won't travel further than the USGBC and GBCI. However it is a give and take when seeking certification.
