<li><strong>Material:</strong> Containers can be made from a variety of materials, including plastic, ceramic, metal, and wood. Plastic containers are lightweight and inexpensive, but they can be less durable than other materials. Ceramic containers are more durable, but they can be more expensive and heavier.
