10.1 Disposal of waste electrical and electronic equipment

For customers in member states of the EU
Torqeedo Cruise motors are subject to the European Directive 2012/19/EU on Waste Elec-
trical and Electronic Equipment – WEEE and to corresponding national legislation. The
WEEE Directive forms the basis for the handling of waste electrical equipment applicable
throughout the EU.
Cruise motors bear the symbol shown below – a crossed out waste bin. Waste electrical
and electronic equipment may not be disposed of with normal domestic waste becau-
se pollutants could be released into the environment that have harmful effects on the
health of humans, animals and plants and which accumulate in the food chain and in
the environment. Moreover, this would lead to the loss of valuable raw
materials.
For this reason, please dispose of your waste equipment in a separate
system of collection, and do not hesitate to contact Torqeedo or your
boatbuilder for assistance or advice.
For customers in other countries
Torqeedo Cruise motors are subject to European Directive 2012/19/EU on Waste Electrical
and Electronic Equipment.
We do not recommend disposal in normal household waste but in a separate electronics
waste or recycling collection. In many countries, it is against the law to improperly dispo-
se of electronics. Please check with your local governmental agencies to find out where
and how to properly dispose of or recycle used electronics.
