Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and contingencies | Commitments and contingencies Pursuant to U.S. GAAP, accruals for estimated losses are recorded at the time information becomes available indicating that losses are probable and that the amounts are reasonably estimable. As is the case with other companies in similar industries, the Company faces exposure from actual or potential claims and legal proceedings from a variety of sources. Some of these exposures, as discussed below, have the potential to be material. Environmental matters The Company is subject to a variety of environmental and pollution control laws and regulations in all jurisdictions in which it operates. Spartanburg In connection with its acquisition of Tegrant in November 2011, the Company identified potential environmental contamination at a site in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Since the acquisition, the Company has spent a total of $1,975 on remediation of the Spartanburg site. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company's accrual for environmental contingencies related to the Spartanburg site totaled $5,425 and $5,555, respectively. The Company cannot currently estimate its potential liability, damages or range of potential loss, if any, beyond the amounts accrued with respect to this exposure. However, the Company does not believe that the resolution of this matter has a reasonable possibility of having a material adverse effect on the Company's financial statements. Other environmental matters The Company has been named as a potentially responsible party at several other environmentally contaminated sites. All of the sites are also the responsibility of other parties. The potential remediation liabilities are shared with such other parties, and, in most cases, the Company’s share, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated at the current time. However, the Company does not believe that the resolution of these matters has a reasonable possibility of having a material adverse effect on the Company's financial statements. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company's accrual for these other sites totaled $1,840 and $1,825, respectively. Summary As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company (and its subsidiaries) had accrued $7,265 and $7,380, respectively, related to environmental contingencies. These accruals are included in “Accrued expenses and other” on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Commitments As of December 31, 2022, the Company had long-term obligations to purchase electricity and steam, which it uses in its production processes, as well as long-term purchase commitments for certain raw materials, principally old corrugated containers. These purchase commitments require the Company to make total payments of approx imately $217,920, as follows: $125,411 in 2023; $50,172 in 2024; $41,068 in 2025; $1,269 in 2026, and a total of $0 from 2027 through 2031.
