If our purchased paper contain rapid renewable material, which the paper fiber was took from a trees which is harvest less than 10 years. will this consider as rapid renewable resources?
the manufacturer web page claim that, Eucalyptus tree was a farmed trees which will be harvest every 4-5 years. will this work?

Hi Tristan,
this link me to another question. i saw a comment on NCv2.2, MRC6 dated Jun 29 2010. the discussion stated that, a study made by USGBC that, no tree species meet the 10 years renewal criteria.
is there a web page whereby list of rapid renewable resources was stated and user refer to it?
Farmed trees was meant for sustainable production, through USGBC study no tree species meet renewal criteria, i not sure with our approach about farmed trees will be ok.

Quoting a recent MRc6 discussion:There is no official list. Any biobased material that otherwise meets the requirements should be accepted. If you can get formal documentation from your supplier about the less-than-10-years cycle, than you should be OK.When the rules were written, 10 years was picked in part to exclude any wood products, since those are covered separately under Credit 7. But that's not how the requirement was written.
