The MUTDUT 'MultiCinch' is made of a custom thermoplastic that has just enough give but will never break. The MultiCinch is waterproof, UV-resistant and dishwasher-safe. Due to its flexibility, the MultiCinch reusable zip-tie has endless uses from keeping cords neat and tidy to curling into a cell phone holder. The large reusable zip-tie is even strong enough to suspend a bicycle from the ceiling of a garage to save space. It also comes in three sizes for even more versatility. "They're symmetrical and reversible, secure and reusable. Every part works as both plug and socket so there's no male, no female, no wrong way to use them." At $7 for a three pack, this reusable zip-tie is more environmentally friendly and efficient than traditional zip-ties. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 7% | Activity: 17% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Reusable Zip-ties:** The demand for eco-friendly, versatile and durable zip-ties creates a market for new product offerings with uses extending beyond ordinary household applications. - **Thermoplastic Materials:** The shift towards custom thermoplastic materials creates opportunities for innovation in reusable and flexible household products. - **Versatile Household Products:** Consumers are looking for more versatile household products with various uses, leading to innovation in eco-friendly and durable design. ### Who This Affects Most - **Consumer Goods:** Consumer goods companies can capitalize on the demand for eco-friendly and versatile household products by exploring reusable thermoplastic materials for a variety of applications. - **Environmental Products and Services:** Environmental companies can take advantage of the trend towards eco-friendly and sustainable household products by creating innovative offerings in the zip-tie and thermoplastic material spaces. - **Smart Home Technology:** Smart home technology companies can develop new products that utilize customizable reusable zip-ties and thermoplastic materials as a more flexible and environmentally-friendly solution for cable management and organization. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Compact Carabiner Multi-Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carabiner-multitool.md) - [Multipurpose Magnetic Cables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/supercalla-cable.md) - [Keychain-Sized Multitools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snapcut.md) - [Adaptable Three-in-One Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultix-outdoors-superpack.md) - [Vibrant Luggage Connectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luggage-connector.md) - [Zero-Waste Hair Ties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fizzy-goblet.md) - [EDC Backpack Accessory Clips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clipit-20.md) - [Hyper-Versatile Hex Wrenches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hex-wrench.md) - [Magnetic Cord Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cord-mate.md)
