For LEED v4.1 plastic laminate and countertops appear to be included in the Wall Panels category: Wall panels At least 75% of all wall panels, by cost or surface area, meet the VOC emissions evaluation, OR inherently nonemitting sources criteria, OR salvaged and reused materials criteria. The wall panels product category includes all finish wall treatments (wall coverings, wall paneling, wall tile), gypsum or curtain walls, retail slatwall, trim, interior and exterior doors, non-structural wall framing, interior and exterior windows, window treatments, countertops, laminate/veneer used for built-in cabinetry, non-structural sandwich panels, and CMU. Exclude cabinetry (include the composite wood components of built-in cabinetry in the composite wood category and free-standing cabinetry in the furniture category), and vertical structural elements (include structural wood panels or structural composite wood in the composite wood category, if applicable), bathroom accessories, and door hardware.
