MR Credit 4 Recycled Content NC CS S CI
|
Increase demand for building products that incorporate recycled content materials, therebyreducing impacts resulting from extraction and processing of virgin materials. Use materials withrecycled content such that the sum of post consumer recycled content plus 1/2 of the pre-consumercontent constitutes at least 10% or 20%, based on cost, of the total value of the materials in theproject. The recycled content value of a material assembly is determined by weight. The recycledfraction of the assembly is then multiplied by the cost of assembly to determine the recycledcontent value. Almost all NORTON solutions contain recycled content, allowing most of ourproducts to contribute toward this credit.

*Recycled content defined in accordance with industry standards.**Pre-consumer recycled content refers to waste material that is immediately placed back into the production cycle. Waste materials generated by the production of these products are collected and shipped off site where it then reenters the recycle stream. *** Must specify if a metal or ABS cover is needed for 7500 or 8000 closers. Use M for metal, G for ABS.
