Space Division Inc. (SDI) sells a wide variety of consumer products manufactured from upcycled, 100% space-ready carbon fiber. This type of carbon fiber is the very same stuff thatâs used to produce aircrafts, rockets, and even spacecrafts â literally. SDI uses the scraps thatâs collected off production lines of modern rockets and spacecrafts to help create their pieces. See, as cool as carbon fiber is, itâs not environmentally friendly. It wasnât created to degrade, yet thereâs over 10 million pounds of carbon fiber waste generated each year. SDI addresses that problem by taking the carbon fiber out of landfills and turning it into products youâd want. They can make everything from games and furniture to personal accessories and household items. After all, carbon fiber is some of the toughest, lightest, and strongest materials out there â and it looks pretty sleek. Plus, this isnât SDI teamâs first venture into carbon fiber upcycling. Theyâre made up of the same team as 121c Boards, who started using this type of carbon fiber to create skateboards. Between them, they have three USC professors, 3 MBAs, an MSSE, and a NASA astronaut. They love space, they love innovationâŚ.and with SDI, theyâre combining those passions with helping the environment.
