Restructuring and Asset Impairments Restructuring and Asset Impairments
Due to its geographic footprint and the cost-competitive nature of its businesses, the Company is continually seeking the most cost-effective means and structure to serve its customers and to respond to fundamental changes in its markets. As such, restructuring costs have been, and are expected to be, a recurring component of the Company's operating costs. The amount of these costs can vary significantly from quarter to quarter and from year to year depending upon the scope and location of the restructuring activities.
Following are the total restructuring and asset impairment charges, net of adjustments, recognized during the periods presented:

“Severance and Termination Benefits” during the first three months of 2023 includes the cost of severance for approximately 159 employees whose positions were eliminated in conjunction with the Company's ongoing organizational effectiveness efforts and severance related to the closure of the Company's paper mill in Hutchinson, Kansas, part of the Industrial Paper Packaging segment.
“Asset Impairments/Disposal of Assets” during the first three months of 2023 consists primarily of asset impairment charges related to the closure of the Company's paper mill in Hutchinson, Kansas.
“Other Costs” during the first three months of 2023 consists primarily of consulting services, costs related to the closure of the Hutchinson, Kansas paper mill, and the cost of earlier plant closures, including equipment removal, utilities, plant security, property taxes and insurance.
The Company expects to pay the majority of the remaining restructuring reserves by the end of 2023 using cash generated from operations. The Company also expects to recognize future additional charges totaling approximately $5,200 in connection with previously announced restructuring actions and believes that the majority of these charges will be incurred and paid by the end of 2023. The Company continually evaluates its cost structure, including its manufacturing capacity, and additional restructuring actions are likely to be undertaken.
Other Asset Impairments
Total other asset impairment charges of $6,389 were incurred during the three months ended April 3, 2022, which includes $5,713 of impairment charges related to the Company's decision to exit its operations in Russia, part of the Industrial Paper Packaging segment, as a result of the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, and $676 of fixed asset impairments in the Company's plastics foods operations, part of the Consumer Packaging segment.
The assets were impaired as the value of their projected undiscounted cash flows was determined to no longer be sufficient to recover their carrying value. These impairment charges are included in “Restructuring/Asset impairment charges” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
