There is no way we can claim that plastic is better than metal.

We can't say that it is worse either.

The point is that without knowing how to compare, we can not claim one or the other.

Properties of most types of plastic.

1 Low density.

2 Light weight.

3 Easy to form.

4 Cheap

But these properties makes plastic better only if this is what we are after.

Plastic is not generally as strong as metal.

Plastic is not as durable as metal... although it depends on its use.

By combining metal with plastic, we get strength and durability.

Just think of a car with paint versus a car without paint.

What is a suitable material for a metal bucket?

The most suitable material for a metal bucket depends on what use the bucket is intended for. Most standard cleaning buckets will be made of aluminium and/or tin. Anything expected to contain a more harsh or corrosive chemical will typically be made of a coated iron, steel, or even titanium if being used for medical/scientific purposes. These last three will usually be coated in some type of polymer coating to help create a static barrier between the surface of the metal and the expected abrasive content.
