The annual emissions of all college consumables included in the study was nearly 29 MT eCO2. Consumables associated with academic space in the college accounted for approximately 56 percent of total college MT eCO2 while 44 percent of college MT eCO2 was emitted by the RKR operations. (See Figure 8.1) Paper and food related disposables were the highest emitting product types of all college product categories at 44% and 41% respectively. Chemical products represented 15% of the annual emissions from consumables. (See Figure 8.2)
