FAQs about MRc4 :

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?

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?

Do I need to enter every single material used into the spreadsheet, or can I stop once I've reached the 10% or 20% threshold? Please tell me it's the latter!

I think if you are using the default budget method, you can enter the materials that reach your threshold. If you are using the actual budget method, you have to enter in everything. Also keep in mind that materials do cross reference across other material and IEQ credits for information consistency.
