FAQs about MRc4 :

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?

Can I count FSC-certified MDF toward both MRc4 and MRc7?

If I have one cut sheet that meets the LEED 2009 requirement to upload 20% of cut sheets by cost, for this credit, is that acceptable?

I have recycled content information for a product, but it doesn’t specify whether it is pre-consumer or post-consumer. What should I do?

The recycled content percentage on the product data sheet is given as a range. What should I do?

The manufacturer can't give me product-specific recycled content data, but they say that they fall within the national industry average. Can I use that?

CI-2009 MRc4:Recycled Content

Missing LEED information for some items

There are a few items in my project for which LEED information is not available - like desk lamps, desk pads, hangers, coasters, even some fabrics. Can I still submitt for the credits? My guess would be to subrtract the cost of those items from the overall cost, but wanted to check first if that's the right approach. Very urgent - Thank you.

Sandra, any material for which you don't have recycled content or other information would simply be assumed to be noncompliant, so would count toward you total materials cost, but not toward the LEED-compliant portion. Does that make sense?
