US Green Building Council (USGBC) – LEED

US Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), offers construction and demolition waste management credits for diversion of materials.

When a project achieves a 50% diversion rate that includes the diversion of two waste streams, one point is earned. When the project reaches a 75% diversion rate, that includes the diversion of three waste streams, a second point is earned. Examples of both from LEED v4.1 are listed below.

LEED Paths/Points Using a Certified Facility 

  • Path 2: Divert 50% using a certified commingled recycling facility
    Divert at least 50% of the total construction and demolition material. All commingled recycling is sent to an offsite sorting facility(ies) certified by the Recycling Certification Institute or approved equivalent.
  • Path 4: Divert 75% using certified commingled recycling facility and one more material stream.
    Divert at least 75% of the total construction and demolition material. Diverted materials must include at least two material streams. All commingled recycling is required to be one of the streams. It is sent to an offsite sorting facility(ies) certified by the Recycling Certification Institute or approved equivalent.
