Dal-Tile Corporation meets industry standards for recycled content documentation
Dal-Tile Corporation recently announced its support of the latest LEED Interpretation Ruling (LIR) for Recycled Content set forth by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). This ruling sets the standard for recycled content claims and documentation for LEED projects looking to achieve points for MRc4 Recycled Content, and aims to bring further transparency to green building through accurate recycled content reporting. The Daltile and American Oleanbrands agree with the methodology specified in the new LIR, and in fact both brands have been calculating and reporting in this manner since receiving the first request for recycled material content for a LEED project back in 2004.
“At Dal-Tile, we are committed to providing our customers with the products and resources they need to qualify for LEED certification, beginning with transparency of our product’s recycled content claims,” said Robert Hurt, Director - Environmental, Health & Safety, Dal-Tile Corporation. “We will continue to embrace industry practices set forth by the USGBC, and work with our customers to ensure their sustainable building and design needs are met.”
