No, there really isn't. This credit is intended to apply only to materials that can be tracked back to their place of origin. But you can claim recycled content value under MRc4, of course.

To elaborate a little, you can potentially claim that scrap metal is a regional material, but you have to be able to document that in some way. The junk vendors in Norma's situation may buy scrap from all over the world. If you can document that scrap came from a regional collection point or points, then you could count it as regional.
