[Greenbuilding] Greenwash?

[David Bergman]

Am I missing something here, or are they claiming 
this material to be eco based on "up to 7% by 
weight... rapidly renewable or pre-consumer waste" content

"Johnsonite®’s ECO-NATURALS Eco-Shell and 
Eco-Shell with Cork rubber tiles and treads use 
significant levels (up to 7% by weight) of 
rapidly renewable and pre-consumer waste stream materials. "

I'd hoped it was a typo, but then found this on the mfr's site:
