EBOM Solid Waste Management Policy in Medical Office Building

My project is pursuing LEED NC, and was hoping to use MRp2 as an innovation credit. I am assuming the minimum percent requirements associated with MRc7, MRc8 and MRc9 all applicable to the MRp2 policy. This is the feeling I get from the LEED User policy template. I ask because my project is an ambulatory outpatient specialty care clinic. The client is unsure they can hit the 50% minimum required by MRc7. In referencing other, more healthcare focused, standards the client says somewhere around 30% is generally thought of as the goal. Has anyone had success using a lesser percentage in such a situation? I can't find anything comparable in LEED for Healthcare. Thank you.

I have not had experience with using lesser percentages. However, typically a comprehensive solid waste management policy should look at the larger operational impacts. For instance, using reusable equipment trays and committing to some of the EBOM purchasing requirements.
