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?

Hi, I have 3 questions 1-I bought my materials in Mexican pesos, to fill the excel table and make all the calculations, are those in dollars? 2. If yes,which exchange rate should I use? 3. The glass supplier doesn t know the recycled content, is an acceptable % to use in this case? thanks in advance

Jorge - I know you asked this question in this forum but the LEED CS forum had a similar question in May of 2013. See http://www.leeduser.com/credit/CS-2009/MRc4#comment-39035 and read the entire thread originally submitted by Michael E. Edmonds-Bauer. Basically, you should use pesos and there is no exchange rate. Regarding your third question, there is no default value for glass (like there is for steel). If you can't get the recycled content from the supplier or manufacturer, then you can't include it because you can't back up any percent recycled claim.
