I am working on MRC3 tracking and documentations without available cut sheets-just purchasing receipts. EPP, does not provide info on metals used on alterations in facility repairs Most of these local vendors have no idea of what "sustainable criteria" is. I find myself unable to finish my spreadsheet without this info. It is difficult to tell what the criteria is for these individual items. Appreciate any solutions.

Trunnell, you're best bet could be to do what you can with the metals used. (I'm assuming that this project is not in the US???) While manufacturers may not have 'sustainable criteria' for their product perhaps they can supply you with the methodology and materials that went into that item. Then research could at least be based on known facts through the supply chain. Metal for example principally comes from two sources, recycle and new metal. Do you have any idea who the big companies are in recycled metal where you are...their on line company reports should details how they recycle, %'s recovered, etc. Your supplier should be able to find out what recycled content there is in your product. A good narrative would then go a long way towards providing GBCI with the details. At least this is a place to start
