Which of the following statements could replace this one and express the same meaning?
"Durable" is not synonymous with "heavy", which describes an object with a lot of mass, which is difficult to carry.
Although "durable" has a meaning close to "hard" (in the sense of solid), Kevin is not expressing the "difficulty" of finding containers.
"Sustainable development" refers to construction that can be maintained over time without damaging the environment. It has nothing to do with the containers Kevin is describing.
