-Does a re-manufactured product count in Materials Reuse? I know that Materials Reuse applies to products that are no longer used for their original intent- if a product is remanufactured into a new product, is it considered rapidly renewable?
-If a material is salvaged from on-site, must it have a different use to be considered Regional? (regarding Materials Reuse and Regional Materials credits)

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?

1) Please give an example of remanufactured. But from what you have said, it sounds like recycled, not reused. Definitely not rapidly renewable.2) Please give an example.

An example would be remanufactured wood doors, now used as tabletops.

Farah, that would count as both regional (if salvaged and remanufactured in the project radius) and reused.
