Because polystyrene has certain thermal properties that can be used in order to store things and maintain their temperature. When you store ice cubes in polystyrene containers they won't melt and they'll keep cold because the cold they'll generate in the container won't escape, and the heat from outside won't come in.
Archival box/container.
The container used to age and store wine, typically made of wood, is called a "barrel."
A shaker is also known as a cocktail shaker. It is a container used to mix drinks by shaking them with ice cubes.
A beaker.
OSHA says Stationary.

Traditionally, the container used to hold thread, needles, pins, scissors, and such was called a sewing basket. However, any container that is large enough to hold your supplies will work.
Before the polystyrene cup, people used alternatives such as paper cups, glass cups, or ceramic cups for beverages. These options were more environmentally friendly compared to polystyrene, which is not biodegradable.
To properly store used cooking oil for safe disposal, allow it to cool completely, then pour it into a sealable container. Store the container in a cool, dark place away from heat sources. When the container is full, take it to a recycling center or contact your local waste management for proper disposal instructions.
In polystyrene, the composites commonly used are typically mineral fillers like talc and calcium carbonate. These composites help improve the mechanical properties and performance of the polystyrene, making it stronger and more heat-resistant.
