Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]  
Commitments and contingencies Commitments and contingencies
In accordance with the requirements of ASC 450, “Contingencies,” the Company records accruals for estimated losses 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 $2,304 on remediation of the Spartanburg site. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company’s accrual for environmental contingencies related to the Spartanburg site totaled $5,096 and $5,259, respectively. The Spartanburg site and related environmental liabilities are part of the pending sale of TFP to Toppan. Accordingly, these accruals are reflected in “Current liabilities of discontinued operations” on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.
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, 2024 and 2023, the Company’s accrual for these other sites totaled $1,933 and $1,992, respectively, and are included in “Accrued expenses and other” on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Commitments
As of December 31, 2024, 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 raw materials. These purchase commitments require the Company to make total payments of approximately $82,554, as follows: $20,472 in 2025; $21,389 in 2026; $20,217 in 2027; $20,476 in 2028, and a total of $0 from 2029 through 2033.
