1990

Filippo Russo, then 29 years old, creates Manifattura Russo Filippo, a Textile Industry specialized in the recovery of “Cascami”, Italian name for textile scraps. The area of Biella – Italy is worldwide famous for the processing and production of fine lines and wovens. Recycling and waste management are not highlighted topics in conventional industrial practices due to a stronger focus on production and revenues.

1992

Thank to the push that the textile industry is making towards synthetic fibers, the company starts its first project in recovering and recycling yarn plastic wastes.
The innovative view of creating new resources from what was then considered a useless production surplus starts to take shape, even thought almost all the plastic scraps available in the area is sent to landfills or burned as the simplest way of waste management.

1997

MRF is now fully focused on plastics recycling, the new Core Business of the Company. Manifattura Russo is building a name as a reliable Plastic Waste Management supplier and is developing a network of companies that overcomes National borders.
Besides textile industry, several other sectors pile up and supply the company, such as Food, Packaging, Automotive and Electronic Industry.
