About us
Behind Reusable Technologies™ lies an interesting story. Tomaž lost his job in January 2021 due to the current COVID-19 situation and decided to become involved in a charity Duh Časa, which was providing poor children with refurbished PCs. At some time, he had a lot of PC monitors in his garage on a shelf. Due to the high weight of monitors, the shelf suddenly collapsed and the monitors broke on the floor. He did not know what to do with all this “e-waste” and came up with the idea to revive monitors back to some useful product and made the first LED light using those broken monitors.
After digging more, he got to know that the problem of e-waste is a very wide and global problem. He signed up in a local accelerator program at Development Center Novo mesto, where he was developing his idea of LED light for some months. In the summer of 2021, he, by coincidence, joined an entrepreneurial weekend, which was hosted by Marko in Vinica (Slovenia). Tomaž explained the idea of recycling e-waste in a ‘’new way’’ and Marko was totally inspired and fascinated so he joined Tomaž immediately. From September to December (2021), the progress of teamwork was enormous. We developed the ideas into products which were then followed by first sales but more importantly, many business connections were made, we also appeared on national TV and participated in two EU projects.
So who we really are?

Nik Stanojević
Nik Stanojević is currently in his final year of high school in Novo Mesto, Slovenia. He plans to continue his education at a college for electrical engineering. During the COVID-19 pandemic and remote learning in 2020-21, he developed a device called SWM (See With Me) to assist the visually impaired in navigating the unpredictable and dangerous world around them. He and a classmate refined the device into a promising business idea, which won the national Popri competition for the best entrepreneurial idea. Nik then went on to win the EU-based Popri Eusair Youth competition and earn a silver medal at the international Genius Olympiad. In the process, he gained valuable experience in programming, 3D modeling, circuit design, and presenting his business idea at international conferences. He firmly believes that everyone can do something good every day to make the world a better place for tomorrow.
