FAQs about MRc3 :

The credit language says “Products meeting recycled content criteria are valued at 100% of their cost for the purposes of credit achievement calculation.” How much recycled content has to be in a product for 100% of its cost to count toward credit achieve

Is there any way around the requirement that no more than 30% of the materials used to meet Option 2 be structure and enclosure items?

If Sustainable Agricultural Network (SAN) certification isn’t required for agricultural products to comply with Option 2, does the manufacturer still have to provide documentation of third-party verification?

For the manufacturer “take-back” pathway under Option 2, does the extended producer responsibility program have to be run by the manufacturer?

Are there other ways the products can contribute to Option 1?

Can Corporate Sustainability Reports from the manufacturers of the products I’ve selected help me achieve the Option 1 point for “raw material source and extraction reporting?”

NC-v4 MRc3:Building product disclosure and optimization - sourcing of raw materials

Location valuation factor & BDPO calculator

Hello, For products with multiple components compliant with sustainable criteria that arrive at the project site ready for installation (ex : a chair) : 1) To apply the location valuation factor, does the product has to be entirely local (all its components)? If yes, I think it is in contradiction with the example p.536 of the reference guide which evaluate the regional criteria separately for each component of the product. 2) If no, how to enter it in the BDPO calculator? If I break down the product into multiple lines corresponding to each component in the BDPO calculator, it is not possible to value the product’s EPD.

We are interested in calculating the location valuation for products with multiple components, such as CIP concrete, too. Does the product have to be entirely local?
