Topic 3 – Efficient and effective use of raw materials in design and production
Akyüz Plastik is seeking to join an existing or currently forming RAMP 2026 Topic 3 consortium as a Turkish industrial SME and industrial demonstration partner.
We are interested in the development and industrial validation of resource-efficient polymer products, focusing on reduced raw-material consumption, lightweight and sustainable product design, alternative and sustainable polymer solutions, recyclability, product and mould optimisation, and injection-moulding validation.
Our initial industrial demonstrator is a new family of food-contact cheese moulds. The R&D concept aims to optimise material use and product geometry while maintaining or improving mechanical, drainage and pressing performance and ensuring compliance with food-contact requirements.
Akyüz can contribute product and application know-how, product/mould requirements, industrial validation, food-contact use cases and commercialisation capabilities.
We are particularly interested in joining a consortium with complementary expertise in sustainable/secondary polymer materials, polymer engineering, CAE/simulation, material characterisation, LCA and circular product design.
Given the 22 September 2026 pre-proposal deadline, we are particularly interested in existing or currently forming consortia where a Turkish industrial SME and demonstrator is still required.
Akyüz Plastik Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş. is an established Turkish plastics company with extensive experience in the development and commercialisation of injection-moulded plastic products for household, kitchen, HORECA, industrial and food-contact applications.
Akyüz has previous experience as an industrial partner in EU-funded collaborative R&D projects, including the FP7 FUTURESME and DEROCA projects. In particular, DEROCA involved the development and validation of safer and more environmentally friendly material solutions for commodity polymers, including assessment of material performance and environmental impacts.
The company has long-standing know-how in product development, mould design requirements, polymer applications, quality control and commercialisation.
For RAMP 2026, Akyüz can contribute as an industrial product developer and demonstrator, providing a real industrial use case for resource-efficient product design, sustainable polymer solutions, reduced raw-material consumption, circularity and industrial validation.
