NC-2009 MRc4: Recycled Content
Is there a certain requirement/specification to use concrete that has been crushed from other sites as a material for another site? If so,where would it be and under what item would be it classified?

The recycled content percentage on the product data sheet is given as a range. What should I do?
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?

DW - I am not quite sure I understand your questions. There is no requirement to document the use of remanufactured concrete for the MR credits but you can include it for MRc4 and MRc5 (assuming the other site was within 500-miles of your site). Please review posts on this forum related to concrete and if your question is not answered, please revise and re-post it. Regarding what item it would be classified under, it depends on how the concrete is being used on your site.
