FAQs about MRc4:
The recycled content percentage on the product data sheet is given as a range. What should I do?
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?

The line between reclaimed and recycled is fuzzy, and can be crossed pretty readily. If you don't have enough reclaimed materials to earn a point in MRc3 (or if you have extra material, after earning a point), you can count them in MRc4 instead.
