FAQs about MRc2 :

How is construction waste accounted for when utilizing off-site construction, like modular construction or pre-fabrication of assemblies?

How does MRc2 work for projects pursuing a campus approach, or any project where waste management will be shared with other construction projects?

Can materials that have been unused and returned to the manufacturer as part of a “take-back” program contribute to the credit?

Should I include hazardous material such as lead-based paint in MRc2 calculations?

Should household-type trash from workers' lunches and office use be included in MRc2 diversion and calculations?

Can sending material to waste-to-energy plants count toward MRc2?

The requirements of this credit say that land-clearing debris does not contribute to the percentage of materials diverted from the landfill. What exactly is considered "land clearing debris"?

Oops! Our trash was measured by both weight and volume at different times. How do I standardize this?

The waste management facility we are using is providing us with monthly documentation specific to our waste, showing 80% diversion. They also have a published, facility-wide rate of roughly 20%, and they have no published rate for construction waste. Will

I have a client who is moving from Building A to new Building B. They will be buying all new furniture for Building B. Can they take credit under MRc2 for donating their old furniture from Building A before the move?

I would say no for two reasons. First, this credit is for construction waste, furniture does not really fall under that category. Second, unless both buildings are being certified as one project anything done in Building A will out of scope for the certification of Building B. If the furniture from A was being moved to B to be reused it could qualify for Resource Reuse but not in this case.
