Profesjonalny nauczycielIn Colombian Spanish we say "coca" . What do you say in English ?
"Coca" is tupperware.
Usually, after we want to store some leftover food in a plastic recipient we say "Store it in a coca".
Many university students take a "coca" with food to the University. (packed lunch?)
So, how is tupperware used in sentence especially in the situations I previously mentioned.
I'm sorry if you thought I was talking about another type of "coca"

I agree with Craig; if it's a solid plastic container with a snap seal like Tupperware, we would just call it "a container." Tupperware is a brand name and, unlike some others, it has not become a generic word. If it's dry "finger food" like a sandwich, or crackers, or cookies, and we just want something to keep it clean (and to keep whatever we put it in clean), then we would use the word "baggie" (for a thin, flexible plastic bag with a snap seal).

You could say "put it in a tupperware" and that is perfectly acceptable. You could also say "plastic container," or simply, "container" and everyone will know what you mean if you are speaking in the context of leftovers.
