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?

CS-2009 MRc4:Recycled Content

Hi! I was reading about the assembly recycled content and I didn't quite get it. Using a window as an example, here we can buy the aluminium frame and the glass separately. Should we consider both as one piece and use the calculation for assembly recycled content? Or can we analyse each material as one? Thanks!

For this example, I believe, you would analyze the window as an assembly.
