FAQs about MRc2 :

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?

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

Tristan, Refering to my comment below, the only thing I can think of right now is to seperate the demo process into two parts. First, demo the plaster only from the walls and then demo the lath in a seperate step. I'm thinking the plaster can be recycled by seperating the lime and sand for other uses and the wood lath can be used as recylced wood. I need to research this idea a little more still, but if you have any other suggestions I would be happy to hear them. Thank you

Chase - My suggestion would be start investigating with your local demolition and recycling companies whether there is a market for the material. It may be costly to separate the lath from the plaster but you have to have a market for the end products before you go any further. Depending on where you project is located will dictate the market availability and sophistication. Your local contractors and haulers will be good resources as well as any waste authorities and landfills.
