Are steel coils counted as recovered for this credit? I have several products where steel coils are used. Does this count?

Jennifer, a little more info would be helpful. Steel is recognized by LEED to having an default recyceled content of 25%. Documentation is genrally available for domestically produced steel (North American) usually is substaintially better than the 25% default.
"Steel Coils" are not generally a "job site ready" product and are usually made into something specific for the job. Are you ultimately trying to document steel studs/track for framing (walls, floors, roof systems), or something else?
