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’s steel products have a minimum of 25.5% for post-consumer recycled content, and 6.8%
pre-consumer. 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%. While ClarkDietrich,
nationwide, has an average recycled content of 48%, we recommend using the default number of 25.5%
post-consumer and 6.8% pre-consumer for your project calculations. 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.)
