SWING Flugsportgeräte and
the environment
Protection of the environment, safety
and quality are the three core values of
SWING Flugsportgeräte GmbH and
they have implications for 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 protecting
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!
Smokers
–
please do not leave any
cigarette butts, matches etc. at flying
sites.
Paragliding is, of course, an outdoor
sport
–
protect and preserve our
planet’s resources.
Environmentally friendly recycling
SWING gives consideration to the
entire life cycle of its paragliders, the
final 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, SWING 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.
