Key Points: 
  • The Bedford New Scholars program was established 15 years ago to gain insights about topics critical to teaching the next generation of rhetoric and composition students.
  • Composition courses are some of the most common and important prerequisite and gateway courses students must pass in order to graduate.
  • However, a 2019 study by the Gardner Institute found that gateway courses like Composition can stand as “gatekeepers” to degree completion.
  • Martin’s has long been connected to the Composition community with its widely used titles like A Writer's Reference and The Bedford Reader.

SAN ANTONIO, Aug. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- For every kilogram reduced from a vehicle's weight, plastics reduce a car's carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by approximately 20 kg during its operating life cycle. The stringent regulations for OEMs to meet sustainability targets will drive the automotive plastics sector. Frost & Sullivan's recent analysis, Global Automotive Plastics Growth Opportunities, finds that original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) need for lightweight materials expedites the automotive plastics industry. This market will likely reach $45.07 billion by 2028 from $31.29 billion in 2021, an uptick at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.3%.

Key Points: 
  • The stringent regulations for OEMs to meet sustainability targets will drive the automotive plastics sector.
  • Frost & Sullivan's recent analysis, Global Automotive Plastics Growth Opportunities, finds that original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) need for lightweight materials expedites the automotive plastics industry.
  • "This is expected to upend the demand for conventional plastics in under-the-hood applications and drive the need for other plastics for new EV applications and components."
  • Balmer added: "As sustainability and decarbonization are gaining prominence in the global automotive sector, the industry will inflate the demand for greener alternatives to minimize CO2 emissions in the next 35 years.
