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?

Can your contractor upload their own MR Calculator?

Does anyone know if the contractor can upload an internal MR Calculator for MRc4-7, or do they have to download the excel spreadsheet from the Credit Resources tab in LEED Online, complete it, and then upload? Is an internal calculator acceptable, or should I ask them to re-enter the data? Thanks!

Miriam - Prior to last week, I would have said you need to use the BDC Calculator. But this thread from LEED-CI answered by USGBC staffer Sarah Buffaloe indicates otherwise - http://www.leeduser.com/credit/CI-2009/MRc4?page=0#comment-50383.
