Requirements III

Recycled content is determined by weight generally.  The recycled fraction of the products is then multiplied by the total cost of the product to determine the recycled content. (10% based on cost).

Example– 10% of product by weight has recycled content, therefore .10 x cost of total product ($100) = $10.00 or recycled content value.

Use materials with recycled content such that the sum of postconsumer recycled content plus
