CI-2009 MRc4: Recycled Content
How does furniture upholstery fabric selection play into recycled content and any other miscellaneous credits? How do you document fabric/upholstery for furniture that has recycled content or regional content; is it a separate line item?
Thanks

The recycled content percentage on the product data sheet is given as a range. What should I do?
Is the default average recycled content value of 25% for steel still allowed?
Can site materials, such as soil, be included in the MR credit calculations?
Are there recycled content claims that I should be wary of?

Lauren, if it is purchased separately and you have separate documentation for it, I think making it its own item would be fine. Alternatively, if it is included in the cost of the furniture, then you could treat the furniture as an assembly with an appopriate percentage of compliant material. For more on the assembly approach, see the Checklists tab above.
