FAQs about MRc4 :

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?”

So in doing some research, are the following certifications acceptable for the legal wood pilot credit? In the appendix of the ASTM D7610-10 are the following certification programs: 1-American Tree Farm System (ATFS) (www.treefarmsystem.org), 2-Canadian Standards Association Sustainable Forest Management Standard Z-809 (CSA-SFM) (www.csasfmforests.ca), 3-Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) (www.fsc.org), 4-Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification schemes (PEFC) (www.pefc.org), 5-Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) (www.sfiprogram.org).
