Prevention is easier than taking care of it after the fact. Some of the methods are to spray the plastic with an anti-static spray or to rub an anti-static dryer sheet on it as well. If you're just using the plastic as a container you could possibly coat it with aluminum foil or a thin layer of spray paint, however, those may not be useful or prudent methods for you.

Why does rubbing wool against plastic create static electricity?
Rubbing wool against plastic doesn't actually "create" static electricity. However, rubbing wool and plastic together does increase the surface area of the two materials that are coming into contact.
