I have a lot of plywood that is being used on the job that is supposed to be FSC Certified. Our subcontractors have provided a cost of the material and a certificate showing that it is an FSC Mix but, I can't get the information out of them for the Material resource calculator that calls for the % of new wood and % of new wood that is FSC Certified.
None of the sample documents that you show say anything about the % new wood and %new wood that is FSC certified.
I believe that dimensional lumber is 100% new wood but how does do they document plywood?

Andy,
That should come on their supplier invoice. It will list out what the % is.

Andy,
Your subcontractor should provide you an invoice that should label the plywood as either "FSC Mix Credit" or "FSC Mix [NN%]". Providing a Certificate is only half of the evidence needed to submit the MR7 credit. Assuming the plywood is FSC Mixed Credit which is the most common, its cost should be counted as 100% FSC.
All wood should be assumed to be new wood unless sold and labeled as recycled or reused.
