ELI5: why does plastic dishware (Tupperware) not dry in the dishwasher as well everything else ?

Every time I open the dishwasher everything is dry except for the plastic containers we take for lunch etc. Why is this?

Generally speaking modern dishwashers dry things off with a heating cycle, which needs to be gentle enough not to damage anything, but still drive off moisture. Your plates and cutlery being metal, ceramic, stoneware, etc... get pretty hot (as you might notice if you try to unload the washer immediately). Essentially the water is cooked off the surface, but plastic and the like are terrible conductors, and don't do the same job.
