Assessment of the prediction efficiency of three simulation software concerning the conformity of compostable shoppers from a packaging industry before TÜV verification

Description

FTIR analysis is used in industry because fast, reliable, low cost. FTIR data are usually processed by Principal Component Analysis (PCA), worked up by commercial simulation software. For their simulation power, even if not included in CAE software, the prediction efficiency of JMP, MatLab and R was assessed in an eco-friendly study on the conformity of compostable shoppers (Mecplast). Despite some differences in separation efficiency, all software provided similar results, proving Mecplast items regularity and revealing an alarming presence on the market of certified but irregular shoppers.
