FAQs about MRc4 :

I have recycled content information for a product, but it doesn’t specify whether it is pre-consumer or post-consumer. What should I do?

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

The manufacturer can't give me product-specific recycled content data, but they say that they fall within the national industry average. Can I use that?

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?

Can I count FSC-certified MDF toward both MRc4 and MRc7?

If I have one cut sheet that meets the LEED 2009 requirement to upload 20% of cut sheets by cost, for this credit, is that acceptable?

CI-2009 MRc4:Recycled Content

Furniture Upholstery

How does furniture upholstery fabric selection play into recycled content and any other miscellaneous credits? How do you document fabric/upholstery for furniture that has recycled content or regional content; is it a separate line item? Thanks

Lauren, if it is purchased separately and you have separate documentation for it, I think making it its own item would be fine. Alternatively, if it is included in the cost of the furniture, then you could treat the furniture as an assembly with an appopriate percentage of compliant material. For more on the assembly approach, see the Checklists tab above.
