INFORMATION AND REQUIREMENTS
LEED Credit MR 2 (Construction Waste Management)
ClarkDietrich products are manufactured from cold-formed steel. Steel is 100%
recyclable. This attribute can help when diverting construction debris from the waste
stream. Recycling construction waste contributes to LEED Credits MR 2.1 and
2.2. The specific contribution will vary by project and must be determined by the
contractor. (Up to 2 pts.)
LEED Credit MR 4 (Recycled Content)
ClarkDietrich produces cold-formed steel framing products with a minimum recycled
content of 34.9%, of which 24.3% is post-consumer and 9.4% is pre-consumer. These
minimum values are based on resources from Steel Recycling Institute. Recycled content
of materials contributes to LEED Credits MR 4.1 and 4.2, and possibly an Innovation in
Design Credit if the project’s overall recycled content exceeds 30%. If a higher content
is desired, ClarkDietrich can provide this information if mill certifications are requested
at time of order. (Up to 3 pts.)
LEED Credit MR 5 (Regional Materials)
LEED Credit MR 5 requires the jobsite to be within a 500 mile radius of the manufacturing
plant and from the point of extraction of raw materials. With nationwide manufacturing
locations, ClarkDietrich plants, as well as our steel sources, often fall within the required
500 mile radius. Each product must be tracked from the mill to the project location
and then these values must be weighted by recycled content percentages. If you wish to
report MR 5 Credits, please submit a LEED request through clarkdietrich.com or contact
ClarkDietrich Technical Services at 888-437-3244 for procedures. (Up to 2 pts.)
