Ah. Got it. You're talking about rigid plastics. Not all plastics are rigid. Polyester and nylon are frequently spun into thin fibers so they are flexible for clothing, and plastic bags are a thing. Plastic lids are frequently flexible so you can actually put them in the container. Rigid plastics are not the only kind that exist.
