Recycled Content: 5% (post- consumer + 1/2 post- industrial) |
Use materials with recycled content such that the sum of post-consumer recycled content plus ½ of the post-industrial recycled content constitutes at least 5% of the total value of the materials in the project.The value of the recycled content portion of a material or furnishing shall be determined by dividing the weight of recycled content in the item by the total weight of all material in the item, then multiplying the resulting percentage by the total value of the item. Mechanical and electrical components shall not be included in this calculation. Recycled content materials shall be defined in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission document, Guides for the Use of Environmental Marketing Claims, 16 CFR 260.7 (e), available at www.ftc.gov/bcp/grnrule/guides980427.htm.

Recycled Content: 10% (post- consumer + ½ post- industrial) |
Use materials with recycled content such that the sum of post-consumer recycled content plus ½ of the post-industrial recycled content constitutes at least 10% of the total value of the materials in the project.The value of the recycled content portion of a material or furnishing shall be determined by dividing the weight of recycled content in the item by the total weight of all material in the item, then multiplying the resulting percentage by the total value of the item.Mechanical and electrical components shall not be included in this calculation. Recycled content materials shall be defined in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission document, Guides for the Use of Environmental Marketing Claims, 16 CFR 260.7 (e), available atwww.ftc.gov/bcp/grnrule/guides980427.htm.

Regional Materials: 20% manufactured regionally |
Use a minimum of 20% of building materials and products that are manufactured* regionally within a radius of 500 miles.
Manufacturing refers to the final assembly of components into the building product that is furnished and installed by the tradesmen. For example, if the hardware comes from Dallas, Texas, the lumber from Vancouver, British Columbia and the joist is assembled in Kent, Washington; then the location of the final assembly is Kent, Washington.

Regional Materials: 50% extracted regionally |
Of these regionally manufactured materials, use a minimum of 50% of building materials and products that are extracted, harvested or recovered (as well as manufactured) within 500 miles.
