Leases and Commitments

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2018

We have entered into operating leases for certain facilities, automobiles and equipment. The future minimum obligations under operating leases having a noncancelable term in excess of one year are as follows:



	Year Ending December 31
2019	$	160
2020	123
2021	85
2022	57
2023	41
Thereafter	72
Future minimum obligations	$	538

Consolidated rental expense under operating leases was $280, $281 and $271 in 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

We have entered into long-term contracts for the purchase of superabsorbent materials, pulp and certain utilities. Commitments under these contracts based on current prices are $841 in 2019, $161 in 2020, $37 in 2021, $38 in 2022, $38 in 2023, and $123 beyond the year 2023.

Although we are primarily liable for payments on the above-mentioned leases and purchase commitments, our exposure to losses, if any, under these arrangements is not material.
