FAQs about MRc4 :

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?

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?

The line between reclaimed and recycled is fuzzy, and can be crossed pretty readily. If you don't have enough reclaimed materials to earn a point in MRc3 (or if you have extra material, after earning a point), you can count them in MRc4 instead.
