If you place each "ke ... ke'e" part right under each other, you can see

gets a "je" to abbreviate it.

          ke       [slasi] lante gacri ke'e je
          ke [mlatu cidja] lante gacri ke'e

[slasi] je [mlatu cidja] lante gacri


So as you can see, the original tanru gives us multiple readings, at
least one of which does make sense.

But "slasi lante gacri" means "(plastic can) cover", not "plastic (can
cover)", so it could mean a cover for a can of plastic, or a cover for a can
made of plastic, but it doesn't mean that the cover is made of plastic.

You're right, it doesn't say the cover is made of plastic, sorry. I hope you still understood what I tried to explain.
