FAQs about MRc4 :

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?”

Extended Producer Responsibility - Same Producer, Multiple Products

I have several products that are specified for my project which are from the same manufacturer. For example, the same manufacturer makes the carpet and the laminate flooring. This manufacturer has an extended producer responsibility program. Do both products contribute to this credit or can you only use each manufacturer once?

Amanda -  If the products are unique product (see this guidance for help identifying unique products: https://www.usgbc.org/resources/does-item-count-product), then yes it will count towards multiple products regardless of manufacturer. However this particular credit is cost based so it doesn't really matter if it's unique or not it will still count the same towards this credit. Since the materials list populates across the BPDO credits, materials should be listed by unique products as otherwise it would be easy to double count a product in another credit.
