FAQs about MRc4 :

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?

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?

CI-2009 MRc4:Recycled Content

Default recycled content for Aluminum or Glass?

Hello, My project is using aluminum and glass fabrications made in China and neither fabricators has any information about the recycled content. It seems like its just isn't something that is tracked in China. Does anyone has experience documenting default recycled content for any material but steel? I wasn't able to find any reference allowing that. Thanks in advance!

Charles, I have never heard of success with this—in fact, it's explicitly not allowed.
