Thrustme CRUISER are manufactured in accordance with the WEEE Directive 2012/19/EU
This directive regulates the disposal of electrical and electronic
devices to protect the environment.
WEEE is a complex mixture of materials and components that because of their hazardous
content, and if not properly managed, can cause major environmental and health problems.
Moreover, the production of modern electronics requires the use of scarce and expensive
resources.
To improve the environmental management of WEEE and to contribute to a circular economy
and enhance resource efficiency the improvement of collection, treatment and recycling of
electronics at the end of their life is essential.
You can, in line with local regulations,
hand in the CRUISER at a collecting point.
From there it will be professionally disposed.
We in the THRUSTME highly recommend you to disposal all parts for recycling for taking
good care of our environment.
