Spaceflight has opened our eyes to the Universe and given us a unique perspective on Earth, but a new project is bringing rocketry to the kitchen. SpacePep’s reuses metals from the manufacture of Ariane 5 rockets and sustainably sourced wood from the forests of French Guiana to create personalisable culinary knives.

All profits from the SpacePep’s project go to supporting the Polakat Association, a local organisation in French Guiana dedicated to promoting sustainable agriculture and French Guiana's gastronomic heritage. ‘Polakat’ means ‘eating well’ in the Teko language, Amerindian, spoken by indigenous communities in the region. Through this initiative, SpacePep’s is helping fund a research project focused on the cultivation of the tonka bean, a valuable spice that grows wild in the forests of French Guiana.
