Abstract

Collapsible container apparatus (2) for use in the storage and transportation of fluid material, which container apparatus (2) comprises: a rigid base (4), support members (6) which upstand from the rigid base (4), a rigid top portion (8) which is releaseably connected to the support members (6), a bag (10) which is made of a flexible material, and securing means (20) which connect the support members (6) to the rigid base (4) such that the support members (6) are able to fold down on to the rigid base (4) and thereby to enable the container apparatus (2) to be in an erect condition while containing the fluid material and in a collapsed condition when empty of the fluid material.
