Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract] |
Restructuring Activities | Restructuring Activities For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company incurred $47.8 million of restructuring charges and $13.9 million of other related costs. These were primarily a result of restructuring costs associated with the announcement on December 13, 2018 as part of the Company’s Reinvent SEE strategy, and the completion of our efforts to eliminate stranded costs. In the first quarter of 2016, the Board of Directors agreed to consolidate the remaining activities of all restructuring programs to create a single program to be called the “Sealed Air Restructuring Program” or the “Program.” The Program consists of previously existing restructuring programs and the new three-year restructuring program which is part of our Reinvent SEE strategy. The Company expects restructuring activities to be completed by the end of 2021. The Board of Directors has approved restructuring spend as follows:
(in millions) |  | Total Restructuring Program Range |  | Cumulative Spend to Date |  | Remaining Restructuring Spend(2)
|  | Low |  | High |  |  |  | Low |  | High
