FAQs about MRc3 :

The credit language says “Products meeting recycled content criteria are valued at 100% of their cost for the purposes of credit achievement calculation.” How much recycled content has to be in a product for 100% of its cost to count toward credit achieve

Is there any way around the requirement that no more than 30% of the materials used to meet Option 2 be structure and enclosure items?

If Sustainable Agricultural Network (SAN) certification isn’t required for agricultural products to comply with Option 2, does the manufacturer still have to provide documentation of third-party verification?

For the manufacturer “take-back” pathway under Option 2, does the extended producer responsibility program have to be run by the manufacturer?

Are there other ways the products can contribute to Option 1?

Can Corporate Sustainability Reports from the manufacturers of the products I’ve selected help me achieve the Option 1 point for “raw material source and extraction reporting?”

Dear All, 

I would like to condsider the average recycled contenet for our Reabar of 25%. and also to consider the regional content factors (location factors) for our rebar product. 

I would request if any one have a sample of this letter (regional content declaration) to provide so I can share it with our suppllier to fill it out, and 

Is it approved if this letter to be provided by the supplier (not manufacturer)?

 

Regards, 

Osman

Hi Osman,
  1. No, we don’t have.
    In addition, no specific format for regional content declaration is needed. As long as the letter can show that material within 100 miles (160 km) which include the distribution, purchase location, and includes all points of manufacture, then it is supposed to be approved by LEED assessor.
  2. Yes, it should be approved.
    LEED BD+C v4 guide states on page 530:
    "A compliant report must be issued by either the manufacturer or the raw material supplier and cover at least the criteria listed in the rating system requirements."
Best regards - Afogreen Build Team
