Biobased Content. For USDA-designated products, use products meeting or exceeding
USDA=s biobased content recommendations. For other products, use biobased products
made from rapidly renewable resources and certified sustainable wood products.
Construction Waste. During a project=s planning stage, identify local recycling and
salvage operations that could process site related waste. Program the design to recycle or
salvage at least 50 percent construction, demolition and land clearing waste, excluding
soil, where markets or on-site recycling opportunities exist.
Ozone Depleting Compounds. Eliminate the use of ozone depleting compounds during
and after construction where alternative environmentally preferable products are
available, consistent with either the Montreal Protocol and Title VI of the Clean Air Act
Amendments of 1990, or equivalent overall air quality benefits that take into account life
cycle impacts.
