Question:
Tony asks: We have a recycled product that contains 90% recycled glass... How can we certify our product for LEED?
Hi Tony, at the moment, the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED Certification system does not certify green building products or building materials.
However, if your product is comprised of 90% recycled content then it may be an excellent product for sustainability experts and LEED APs to consider when they are choosing from the green building materials and green products that contribute towards earning credits under the different green building rating systems (such as New Construction, Commercial Interiors, Core and Shell and Operations and Maintenance).
Summary of News:
Products cannot become LEED certified, though they can contribute to projects.
