Pension, Other Post-Retirement Benefits and Employee Benefit Plans. [Abstract] |
Pension and Other Post-Retirement Benefit Plans | 18. Pension and Other Post-Retirement Benefit Plans Pension and other post-retirement benefit plan costs and obligations are primarily within our Food Packaging segment. Pension plans and other post-retirement benefit plans for other segments are not material and are not included in our disclosures below. Viskase sponsors several defined benefit pension plans, including defined contribution plans, varying by country and subsidiary. Additionally, Viskase sponsors health care and life insurance benefits for certain employees and retirees around the world. The pension benefits are funded based on the funding requirements of federal and international laws and regulations, as applicable, in advance of benefit payments and the other benefits are funded as benefits are provided to participating employees. Components of net periodic benefit cost (credit) are as follows: ​
