# Moldable Plastic Cards FORMcard is a Sheet of Bioplastic That Can Be Molded When Dipped in Water By Cadhla Gray | Published 2015-11-16 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moldable-plastic References: [psfk](http://www.psfk.com/2015/11/molded-plastic-tools-bio-plastic-formcard.html) & [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/formcard/formcard-melt-mould-make-mend) FORMcard is a revolutionary type of moldable plastic that becomes bendable and soft after it has been dipped in hot water. What starts out as a solid sheet of bioplastic turns into a clay-like form that can be molded into objects, fix things or added on to objects. Once the material has dried it becomes a strong, solid nylon-like plastic. The [bioplastic material](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/know-new-plastic) itself is not new, however its form is usually in small balls that are hard to use and very messy as opposed to this handy [pocket-sized card](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/renovo-gift-card). The FORMcard is an excellent alternative for things that can not be easily repaired using [superglue](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rapidfuse-flex-gel-super-glue). For instance, materials that need to be reinforced or have snapped can be mended back together with this moldable plastic wrapped around. Excellent for any handyman or woman and a good tool to have in any kitchen drawer, the FORMcard is useful in a variety of situations. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.6/10 - Popularity: 94% | Activity: 95% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Moldable Bioplastics:** FORMcard's innovative use of bioplastic as a moldable material presents an opportunity for disruption in industries that require customizable and eco-friendly materials. - **DIY Home Repair:** FORMcard's moldability and ease of use make it a valuable tool for home repair enthusiasts and can disrupt traditional methods of repairing household items. - **Eco-friendly Crafting:** FORMcard's bioplastic material and moldable qualities make it an ideal material for eco-friendly crafting and presents an opportunity for disruption within the craft and hobby industry. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Manufacturing:** FORMcard's moldable bioplastic material can disrupt traditional manufacturing methods that rely on non-biodegradable materials. - **Home Improvement Retail:** FORMcard's DIY repair and moldable qualities can disrupt traditional materials used in home improvement and repair retail. - **Craft and Hobby Retail:** FORMcard's eco-friendly and moldable material can disrupt traditional crafting and hobby materials, attracting environmentally conscious consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Desktop Vacuum Formers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/formart-s.md) - [Biotransformable Cup Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/verigreen.md) - [Organic Plastic Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crafting-plastic-collection.md) - [Reusable Framework Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unfold-form.md) - [3D-Printed Bioplastic Reparation Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/furniture-first-aid.md) - [Metallic Multitool Wallet Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ekster-tool-card.md) - [Unbreakable Metallic Cryptocurrency Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/material-bitcoin-card.md) - [Repairable Phone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forever-phone-case.md) - [Malleable Construction Food Containers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delione-flexn-fresh-container.md)
