If you're purchasing the components separately then simply use Equation 1, the basic equation that takes the full value of post-consumer content and half the value of pre-consumer.If you're purchasing an assembled product, then you have to isolate the different components by weight and determine the recycled content of each. We expand on how to do this and provide an example in the Checklists tab above.
