FAQs about MRp1 :

Are we required to collect and recycle food waste?

Our project will have a different area for recycling than what is recommended in the LEED Reference Guide. Is that okay?

I'm confident we have enough space allotted for recycling, but how much detail should I go into in documenting expected volume?

Which Waste Streams Should Be Included?

Hi All. Is this credit specifically for office waste or all waste streams? I’m working on a large industrial factory building, and whilst the operator has a policy of recycling materials from the manufacturing process this is a very different process to the occupant-led recycling facilities and plan. Would in internal layout drawing need to show the recycling areas on the factory floor? Many thanks. Kit

The prerequisite requires a description and drawing that shows the "dedicated recycling storage areas" that are used to collect "paper; corrugated cardboard; glass; plastics; metals"; this may be quite different than the manufacturing process that reclaims pre-consumer material for reuse/recycling.
