Recycling Band is the only band in the world that combines electronic and so-called junk sound, using hand-made instruments. They are made of unnecessary objects, often rubbish and waste, which in the hands of the band's chief designer gain a new, better life, thus presenting the role of recycling in practice.

RB was established in 2011 and it was a finalist of the 5th edition of the popular TV show Mam Talent. From the very beginning, it sparked great interest among listeners and the media (Arte TV, Reuters Agency, Chicago Tribune, Alwaatan TV, VOA Korea, and many others).

By combining a serious approach to music with unserious instruments, the band gives concerts and teaches environmental protection not only in Poland, but also abroad: in Kuwait, France, Germany, or Italy. The sound of RB, combining instruments made of recycling materials and electronic music, provides a powerful dose of energy at the concerts; in terms of genre, it ranges from club to dance music.

As manufacturing materials, Recycling Band uses unnecessary mineral water bottles, cans, buckets, spare planks, parts of old furniture, bicycles, and many more. The band has an impressive collection of instruments such as guitars, keyboards, percussion and strings, as well as instruments that do not fall into any specific category.
