There is a statement in Checklist for this credit:
"FSC Recycled and FSC Recycled Credit: do not count toward this credit at all and can be left out of the baseline wood budget. FSC Recycled can count towards MRc4 Recycled Content."
Is there a CIR or interpretation that confirms that FSC Recycled wood can be left out of the baseline wood budget?
Or is the way that all new wood products, that are certified as FSC Recycled, are considered recycled wood as a whole product and not counted as new wood in the calculation?

Petr,If I'm understanding your question correctly, recycled wood does not count as new wood. Therefore the percentage of recycled (FSC or not) wood in a product would not be included in the "new wood" budget. But could be included in the recycled content calculation for MRc4.
