Is FSC particle board new or recyled?

The definition of recycled in the wood products industry is blurry. The Composite Panel Association created its own standard early on that took a very liberal stance on what should count as "recycled", which, in their definition, includes pretty much all particleboard feedstock. SCS (a certifier of green claims) endorsed that definition and LEED has not, to my knowledge, challenged it. So, I believe that you CAN count it as recycled.However, you cannot count the same wood fiber as both FSC AND recycled, you have to go with one or the other (see this graphic showing where double-dipping between MR credit is and is not allowed).

I keep running into this also. I have manufacturers with CARB certifications AND FSC Mixed COCs. The part that throws me is that the COC is not for FSC Recycled but Mixed. The LEED 2.2 verbiage says anything that "qualifies" for MR C4 is excluded from MR C7. In which case I would think that I have to count this as recycled. But, the 3.0 verbiage specifically states "FSC Recycled" is excluded which would lead me to believe I would be able to double dip or at least choose where I wanted to count it. It also sounds like there is a lot of synicism about the recycled qualification which would lead me to think that the FSC certification is the better certification to use. Any definitive answers or advice out there? Thanks!
