Recycled content is defined by green building standards such as LEED v.3.0, and ISO 14021, as well as environmental product labeling programs such as GreenSeal. Industry accepted standards for recycled content commonly used by architects, specifiers and manufacturers will be covered. Materials and assemblies will be examined to learn how to accurately determine and report the recycled content of a building. Discussion will cover post-consumer vs. pre-consumer recycled content; whether a SCM (fly ash) is post-consumer or pre-consumer; why most architectural glass contains virtually zero recycled content. Overall, the presentation will help manufacturers/product reps and specifiers determine whether or not a product or assembly claiming recycled content can be included in the LEED calculation or other platforms for environmental declarations. 1:30pm -2:30pm
