Challenges and Implications

Dr. Hélène Angellier-Coussy graduated from INP-PAGORA in Grenoble and completed her PhD at CERMAV. In 2005, she joined the University of Montpellier as an Associate Professor, conducting her research within the Joint Research Unit IATE, in the ePOP team. In 2026, she is appointed as a member of the Institut Universitaire de France (IUF) under a fundamental chair. Her scientific expertise lies in polymer science and engineering, with a particular emphasis on processing–structure–property relationships in bio(nano)composites. Her research aims to develop the next generation of fully circular food packaging materials by integrating expertise in polymer science, food science, and process engineering. She proposes a radical departure from conventional eco-design strategies to reframe the design of sustainable food packaging by placing biological functionality and systemic sustainability principles at the core of packaging innovation. It seeks to refine packaging functionality, including the long-term stability of the whole relevant eco-system. Her approach combines the controlled assembly of biodegradable cellulose-based composites with a frugal innovation strategy that targets only essential functionalities. She has contributed to numerous collaborative projects, including European initiatives (e.g., Ecobiocap, NoAW, GLOPACK, Agriloop, PHACTUS).
