FAQs about MRc4 :

I have recycled content information for a product, but it doesn’t specify whether it is pre-consumer or post-consumer. What should I do?

The recycled content percentage on the product data sheet is given as a range. What should I do?

The manufacturer can't give me product-specific recycled content data, but they say that they fall within the national industry average. Can I use that?

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?

Can I count FSC-certified MDF toward both MRc4 and MRc7?

If I have one cut sheet that meets the LEED 2009 requirement to upload 20% of cut sheets by cost, for this credit, is that acceptable?

NC-2009 MRc4:Recycled Content

What to consider as toilet accessories?

CSI Section 10 is included in this credit. What would be considered toilet/bath acessories under CSI 10 28 00? Do we have to consider the cost of steel bars in bathrooms for users with disabilities for instance? And plastic toilet seats, movable lockers, hand dryers, soap dispensers? Thanks

Marcio - Please know that you do NOT "have to" capture recycled content from materials in Division 10 - but you do have to capture the overall cost of Division 10 (or the materials in Division 10) in your overall calculations. My philosophy on this credit is to look at the big cost items to get recycled content and I haven’t found toilet/bath accessories to be a big dollar item. It is unfortunate that there is no longer free access to MasterFormat’s website but you could google around for “Masterformat 2004” to find some other links that might help you get details on what is in Division 10. Another reference to check out is Sweets - http://products.construction.com/MasterFormat2004Index/Specialties_10-00-00. It lists all the products in that division and details what is under 10 28 13.
