FAQs about MRc4 :

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?

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?

CS-2009 MRc4:Recycled Content

different concrete classes

Not sure how it looks in the US, but in Europe we have different concrete classes depending on its strength and - what goes along with that - different material ratio. Therefore, concrete class C20/25 can have different recycled content than concrete class C30/37. If we used many different concrete classes on our project (as probably every project does), shall we ask our supplier to specify recycled content for every single class, or he can just give us the average percent for a typical concrete mix?

Alicja, I would say that if you can't get specific recycled content for each mix, then you'll risk not providing enough documentation to satisfy the LEED review.
