Hello,
I'm concerned about our project earning points for MRc2. The country our project is in does not recycle very much, and most of the projects waste seems to be diverted to the landfill and not from the landfill. I'm not sure if the municipality recycles wood, plastic, etc... Our project has recycled scrap metal, asphalt, and gypsum.. We separate and sort waste on-site the best we can. Could the project loose points if there is a high percentage of waste going to the landfill ?

Ali - Not all credits are available to all projects. Based on what you've shared of your situation, your project does not appear able to earn MRc2 - as you are not able to meet the intent (diverting debris from disposal in landfills and incineration facilities.) So yes - if you were counting on earning points under MRc2, you would lose them.
But really, you can't lose points that you weren't able to earn in the first place. It sounds like you all should not have been counting on earning points under MRc2 based on the availability of recycling in your project's location.
