Is an email from the supplier confirming post-consumer and pre-consumer recycled content of the material, sufficient as a cut sheet?

The recycled content percentage on the product data sheet is given as a range. What should I do?
Is the default average recycled content value of 25% for steel still allowed?
Can site materials, such as soil, be included in the MR credit calculations?
Are there recycled content claims that I should be wary of?

Carine - I've used a PDF of an e-mail as backup in the past but that is no guarantee your reviewer will accept it. Sometimes, however, this is the only way you can get the information.
