FAQs about MRc3 :

The credit language says “Products meeting recycled content criteria are valued at 100% of their cost for the purposes of credit achievement calculation.” How much recycled content has to be in a product for 100% of its cost to count toward credit achieve

Is there any way around the requirement that no more than 30% of the materials used to meet Option 2 be structure and enclosure items?

If Sustainable Agricultural Network (SAN) certification isn’t required for agricultural products to comply with Option 2, does the manufacturer still have to provide documentation of third-party verification?

For the manufacturer “take-back” pathway under Option 2, does the extended producer responsibility program have to be run by the manufacturer?

Are there other ways the products can contribute to Option 1?

Can Corporate Sustainability Reports from the manufacturers of the products I’ve selected help me achieve the Option 1 point for “raw material source and extraction reporting?”

NC-v4 MRc3:Building product disclosure and optimization - sourcing of raw materials

Raw Material Source and Extraction Reporting

Hello, Tarkett, a flooring company, states that their CSR report meets LEED's sourcing of raw material option. http://www.johnsonite.com/Portals/8/2015%20Sustainablity%20Report_1.pdf I was not able to find the raw material supplier extraction locations in the report though. Any thoughts?

I would not count on this passing muster. That part of the credit is being retooled significantly, and I don't think CSRs are hitting it yet. It's probably worth submitting, but I would discount its value in terms of getting your point.

Hi Paula. Thank you for your input! I'm aware of the implementation guidance of option 3. Is there any document about the changes on option 1?

You're welcome, Dionisio!I'm curious whether you are asking about another credit (this one doesn't have an option 3) or if you meant to say option 2. If the former, let's move the convo to that credit.

I mixed up with another credit - sorry. By the way, what do you mean by "that part of the credit is being retooled"?

Dionisio, the transparency option needs to be rewritten to ensure it's achievable. I wish I had more details to offer!
