Technical Clarification
pre consumer recycled content/ post industrial recycled content
MAT-3-T-INT1-1729
Guidance
2017-02-22
The GBCSA confirm that points will only be awarded for post consumer recycled content (where 40% of the item’s mass is reused, recycled, or certified content or a combination) as per the INT v1 Technical Manual definitions.
Specifically re-used content items have an advantage to go through an Eco Labelling system (through a 3rd party certification scheme) as no points are awarded in the calculator for products for pre consumer recycled content or post industrial recycled content.
Alternative option for obtaining points is where a Manufacture or Supplier has a Take Back schemes for their product(s).
Please note this pre consumer recycled content and post industrial recycled content is not likely to be considered for change in INT v1 however, this could be a possibility for INT v2 once more research has been taking into account from Suppliers and Manufactures.
