Waste-to-Energy diversion

Construction and Demolition Waste Management is no longer a prerequisite in v4.1, there is only a credit. On a past v4 project I substituted the 'non-existent' v4.1 prereq and did not pursue the v4 credit. GBCI still required the team to provide a Waste Management Plan, total waste generated and total waste diverted.  That said, the v4.1 reference guide allows waste-to-energy of wood materials from recycling processes to be considered as 'waste diversion' in both U.S. and international projects.  Forms of waste-to-energy (other than wood) is not an acceptable means of diversion for projects in the U.S. International projects may be eligible to count 'non-wood products' as waste-to-energy as diversion IF the standards you listed above are followed AND the project team can demonstrate that reuse and recycling strategies were exhausted before sending the material to waste-to-energy facilities.  You have listed "U.S." as the project location, so if the item is not 'wood' then it looks like you are out of luck. Finally, I have no idea how to demonstrate 'reuse and recycling strategies were exhausted'. If anyone knows, please post!
