Minespider Digital & Battery Product Passports

Minespider GmbH is a German company that builds digital passports for raw materials and products, with a focus on battery passports. It helps miners, smelters, component makers and OEMs document the origin, ESG performance and carbon footprint of materials such as tin and battery minerals.

The platform records origin data, carbon and ESG metrics, compliance indicators and end-of-life information in each passport, using data collection templates and attached audit documents. Each data point is marked as self-declared or third-party verified, and data is split into public and private layers. Passports are linked to physical goods through QR codes and secured with blockchain. Customers named on its site include Minsur, Ford and Google.

• Product passports: Passports cover origin, ESG and carbon data, compliance indicators and end-of-life information.
• Data templates: Structured templates collect data from suppliers along the chain.
• Verification labels: Each data point is flagged as self-declared or third-party verified.
• Data layers: Public and private views separate disclosed and confidential information.
• QR linking: Physical goods are linked to their passports with QR codes.
• Integrations: Open API, webhooks and Catena-X connectivity support data exchange.

Vietnamese mineral processors and smelters can issue material passports to prove origin for export buyers. Battery and electronics component makers can share carbon and ESG data with EU customers. Steel and aluminium exporters can reuse passport data for CBAM reporting.

Published annual pricing, starting at EUR 11,900 per year for the Base plan, makes budgeting simple for smaller teams. Clear labelling of self-declared versus verified data increases trust with buyers and auditors. Public and private data layers protect commercial information while meeting disclosure rules. One passport can serve several regulations, including the EU Battery Regulation, CBAM and LkSG.

Battery passports become mandatory in the EU from February 2027, and buyers increasingly require carbon and responsible sourcing data under CBAM, CSRD and due diligence laws. Vietnam has significant reserves of rare earths and other minerals and a growing electronics and battery industry, creating demand for verifiable material passports.

Minespider GmbH is a German legal entity and is listed in the EIT RawMaterials startup portfolio. In 2026 it published The Digital Battery Passport Implementation Report 2026 and was listed by several market research firms among leading battery passport providers. Case studies include TEMSA and Minsur.
