Reusable Technologies - https://reusable-technologies.com/
A record 54 million metric tonnes of electronic waste was generated worldwide in 2019, up 21 percent in just five years. This makes e-waste the world’s fastest-growing domestic waste stream, fueled mainly by higher consumption rates of electric and electronic equipment, short life cycles, and few options for repair. Only 17.4% of e-waste discarded in 2019 was recycled. Due to the recycling process, many environmentally dangerous reactions occur.
We recycle differently.
Co-founders, Tomaž Kren and Rok Goršin. They met at the Secondary Electrical School, at the Novo mesto School Center (SCNM). They share similar hobbies (electronics, IT, new technologies, etc.). They have been developing technological ideas for the reuse of e-waste for quite some time. Tomaž has been involved in the humanitarian association Duh-Časa for a long time, while Rok has been gaining experience on various more demanding projects through his company. The idea for rEbank was born after repeated visits to e-waste landfills.
It soon became clear that this project, i.e. the environmental problem we are trying to solve, is too big for just two people, so we expanded the team with two more like-minded individuals who care about the planet and people. Marko Vrdoljak is a long-term voluntary entrepreneurial mentor to young people and Matevž Cimermančič is a Youth Olympic representative who is working on a master’s degree in energy engineering.
