Answer: D

Explanation:

Pre-consumer recycled content refers to waste material that is diverted from the waste stream

during the manufacturing process. This can include scraps or trimmings that are collected and

returned to the manufacturing process. It does not include rework, regrind, or scrap materials

capable of being reclaimed within the same process that generated them.
