CI-2009 MRc3.1: Materials Reuse
I am using a reclaimed white oak wood from a barn to use on flooring. Can I use this for MRC4 recycled content or MRC3.1 materials reused?

Can I include reused furniture?
A material being reused contains recycled content. Can I count this under MRc3 and MRc4?
We are reusing a lot of equipment from another building. Can we count that?
Can crushed concrete, masonry or asphalt being reused onsite qualify as materials reuse?

Yes for materials reuse, since it's a reclaimed material being used for a new purpose. But materials reuse and recycled content are usually mutually exclusive. Recycled content comes from reuse of materials in manufacturing processes.
