Hi LEED experts, if construction waste streams are collected and processed in a cement processing plant, then can we count these waste streams are recycled? The construction waste will become recycled content in cement. Thanks for your advice.

For a project located in Central America, construction waste is used for clinker production. For this purpose, construction waste is heated to temperatures above 900C.
According to those responsible for the clinker production plant, this is not considered INCINERATION. In the case of incineration equipment, the equipment is smaller and the temperature does not reach more than 700C.
If it is not considered incineration ... can it be counted as material diversion?
Does anyone have any similar experience?
