A band from Krakow founded in 2011, whose members play home-made instruments of waste (known also as Recycling Instruments). Music is a passion of the band members, and their mission is to draw attention to the issue of waste segregation and processing and, therefore, to promote the ideas of recycling and environment protection.

They design and make their instruments on their own from products such as empty mineral water bottles, cans, buckets, boards,

processions and the co-direction of stage forms.

Recycling Band

A band from Krakow founded in 2011, whose members play home-made instruments of waste (known also as Recycling Instruments). Music is a passion of the band members, and their mission is to draw attention to the issue of waste segregation and processing and, therefore, to promote the ideas of recycling and environment protection.

They design and make their instruments on their own from products such as empty mineral water bottles, cans, buckets, boards, parts of old furniture, bicycles, and even items of everyday use, e.g., hair combs. Their set of instruments includes several BottleGuitars and BottleBasses, “waste” drums, BottleViolin, Eco-Trumpet and their own invention: “klawiszon‟.
