Yep, use an autoclave for glass. Use gas or liquid phenol (carbolic acid) for the plastic. Best bet is to use new plastic each time. UV does nothing but damage proteins. It is not the best method for sterilization, but it will work great for maintaining a sterile storage area. Idophore is another good sterilizer. Brewers use it all the time to eradicate undesired fungi and bacteria from their materials.

As for the uv box...just build or buy an enclosed cabinet, mount a uv bulb in the top, make sure all of your items receive adequate exposure. Use a regular bulb to check for exposure and for light that may escape the cabinet. Remember that uv will cause damage to your cells. Do not expose yourself to it.
