1. A container for processing and/or transporting a biopharmaceutical fluid, the container comprising a wall, the wall comprising a shape memory material being adapted to change shape when induced by a stimulus external to the container, so that the container can be alternately in a collapsed state and in an unfolded state, the wall of the container in the unfolded state delimiting an internal cavity of the container adapted to contain the biopharmaceutical fluid, the container being coupled to an external device to provide said stimulus to the wall of the container from a position that is external to the interior cavity of the container, wherein the container is substantially flat in the collapsed state.
