FAQs about MRc2 :

Should I include hazardous material such as lead-based paint in MRc2 calculations?

Should household-type trash from workers' lunches and office use be included in MRc2 diversion and calculations?

Can sending material to waste-to-energy plants count toward MRc2?

The requirements of this credit say that land-clearing debris does not contribute to the percentage of materials diverted from the landfill. What exactly is considered "land clearing debris"?

Oops! Our trash was measured by both weight and volume at different times. How do I standardize this?

The waste management facility we are using is providing us with monthly documentation specific to our waste, showing 80% diversion. They also have a published, facility-wide rate of roughly 20%, and they have no published rate for construction waste. Will

How is construction waste accounted for when utilizing off-site construction, like modular construction or pre-fabrication of assemblies?

How does MRc2 work for projects pursuing a campus approach, or any project where waste management will be shared with other construction projects?

Can materials that have been unused and returned to the manufacturer as part of a “take-back” program contribute to the credit?

Other uses of Rock Wool Insulations

Hi, currently we are having a problem diverting our Rock Wool Insulations for MRc.2. We can't find a facility or projects that are willing to accept them since it was said to have hazardous content. Maybe you could suggest other uses of this material so we would have an idea on what type of facilities or projects we would approach or, suggest proper ways on how to dispose it. Thanks

Mary Ann - I don't have any specific experience trying to divert rock wool but I would suggest contacting manufacturers of rock wool for ideas. Another resource might be the North American Insulation Manufacturers Association - http://www.naima.org/. Hopefully any LEEDusers with experience on this can step up and provide assistance as well. Here is some information from NAIMA on the health and safety aspects - http://www.naima.org/insulation-knowledge-base/health-and-safety-aspects.html.
