Recycled Content
Reward’s insulating concrete form products contain recycled content and can contribute to the Recycled Content credit. The Reward plastic tie inserts are manufactured from 100% pre-consumer recycled first generation polypropylene plastic. One half (50%) of the calculated pre-consumer amount is included in the total value of recycled content for a project. The calculations and amount of recycled content that the iForm contributes is shown below.
For example, the 11” iForm tie weight is 188 grams
- 100%, (188 grams) is pre-consumer recycled content
- 1.5 ties per square foot
- 282 grams per square foot recycled content
- Foam Weight: 288 grams/square foot
- Total System: 570 grams/square foot
- Cost of System: $3.18/square foot
- Value of Recycled Content per Square Foot (282/570)($3.18)(50%) = 0.79
- % of product value recycled content $0.79/$3.18
