NC-v4.1 MRc3:Sourcing of Raw Materials

Material Reuse Multiplier

If Material Reuse is valued at 200%, the cap of a product not being able to be valued at more than 100% of its total sustainability attributes must now be gone in v4.1? In v4, you couldn't exceed 100% of value, unless using the local multiplier.

This would make the local multiplier not in effect either, since if a salvaged product is from w/in 100 miles, it would then count as 400% - but the credit language states "are valued at twice their base contributing cost (or number of products), up to a maximum of 200% of cost".

So to restate, if a product is 100% salvaged, the most it can contribute is 200% of its cost, regardless of it is local or not - is that the accepted understanding?

That is my understanding.  You can use any combination of multipliers, but the maximum total value for credit is 200% of the product's cost.
