A5.405.4.3 Determination of Recycled Content Value of Materials (RCVM)
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER
(Equation A5.4-6)
(Equation A5.4-7)
The recycled content value of each material (RCVM) is calculated by multiplying the cost of material, as defined by the recycled content. See Equations A5.4-6 and A5.4-7.
Notes:
- If the postconsumer and preconsumer recycled content is provided in pounds, Equation A5.4-7 may be used, but the final result (in pounds) must be multiplied by 100 to show RCM as a percentage.
If the manufacturer does not separately identify the pre-consumer and post-consumer recycled content of a material but reports it as a total single percentage, the total amount shall be considered preconsumer recycled material.
