参考答案: AB

本题解释:
A Postconsumer recycled content - is the percentage of material in a product that was consumer waste. The recycled material was generated by household, commercial, industrial, or institutional end-users and can no longer be used for its intended purpose. It includes returns of materials from the distribution chain. Examples include construction and demolition debris, materials collected through recycling programs, discarded products (e.g., furniture, cabinetry, decking), and landscaping waste (e.g., leaves, grass clippings, tree trimmings). (ISO 14021)
B Using materials that contain recycled content reduces virgin materials use. Steel is the country’s most widely recycled material. Supplemental cementitious materials (SCMs) is another common recycled materials used in commercial building. Fly ash is a common type of SCM.
