Gin Gliders and the environment
Protection of the environment, safety and quality are the three basic values of Gin Gliders
and these have implications on everything we do. We also believe that our customers
share our environmental awareness.
Respect for nature and the environment
You can easily play a part in protection of the environment by practising our sport in such
a way that there is no damage to nature and the areas in which we fly. Keep to marked
trails, take your rubbish away with you, refrain from making unnecessary noise and
respect the sensitive biological equilibrium of nature. Consideration for nature is required
even at the launch site!
Paragliding is, of course, an outdoor sport – protect and preserve our planet’s
resources.
Environmentally-friendly recycling
Gin Gliders gives consideration to the entire lifecycle of its paragliders, the last stage of
which is recycling in an environmentally-friendly manner. The synthetic materials used in
a paraglider must be disposed of properly. If you are not able to arrange appropriate
disposal, Gin Gliders will be happy to recycle the paraglider for you. Send the glider with a
short note to this effect to the address given in the appendix.
