MRc2.1: Construction Waste Management
The intent of this credit is to recycle more construction material and divert construction waste from the landfill.
Requirements: Divert at least 50% of the construction waste from the landfill. This 50% is to be either weight or volume, but the calculations must be consistant throughout.
Approach: Recycle as much of the construction waste as possible. Designate separate recycling areas for specified materials. Recycle items like insulation, carpet, wallboard, glass, plastic, wood, concrete, tile, brick, metal, etc.
The Calculations involve figuring out if you achieve the 50% or not. There is an exemplary performance point available if you increase the level to 95%. This will be part of the construction submittal.
