Specifying Recycled Content

The Recycled content value in the Material section of the Sustainability Task Pane shows the percentage of recycled content for the selected material.

The information for the material in the sustainability database determines how the value is presented and whether you can modify it.

  1. With a part or assembly open, click Tools > Sustainability.
  2. In the Sustainability Task Pane, expand Materials and choose a material Class and Name.

    If the sustainability database contains primary (virgin), secondary (recycled), and trade mix (default mix of virgin and recycled content) values for the material you chose, the Recycled content field shows the percentage of recycled content.

  3. To change the amount of recycled material, specify a new percentage.

    The control becomes yellow and the Use Trade Mix button becomes active.

  4. To revert to the default trade mix, click Use Trade Mix.
