Since the beginning of her career, Hélène Legrand has been keen to put environmental issues at the heart of her missions. Therefore, since early 2020, she joined the VALORPLAST teams as a Materials Engineer to commit to increasing the recycling rate of household plastic packaging. By creating strong and lasting partnerships with sorting centers, regenerators and packaging producers, she is today specialized in the recycling of PET packaging and is managing several R&D projects concerning this resin. In addition to this, Hélène LEGRAND actively participates in the COTREP (Technical Committee for the Recyclability of Plastic Packaging), which determines in France the guidelines for ecodesign of household packaging for the entire sector of activity.
