Bella DPP — Analytics dashboard

The EU Ecodesign Regulation (ESPR, EU 2024/1781) sets the framework for the digital product passport: a product's material, repairability, recycling and supply-chain information will travel in a passport reached by QR. Which product group needs a passport from which date is set step by step by product-specific delegated acts.

Bella DPP creates the passport, links it to the product by QR and serves it from a public endpoint. The data model, validation rules and version management are built in; as a product group's requirements are published, the template is configured to match them. The published passport is signed and queued for submission to the EU DPP registry.
