Right — now to pack and repack and unpack and repack — need to get the weight and the sorting right so that SAA and the porters carrying the stuff don’t complain.

Worrying bit is — 1.5kg of packaging that came off the equipment — just cardboard and plastic for packaging — excluding bags. Wow.

I wonder how one would quantify the carbon footprint of packaging materials being shipped around the world, and then destroyed, dumped or burned afterwareds?
