Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract] |
Rationalization Charges | R ATIONALIZATION C HARGES We continually evaluate cost reduction opportunities across each of our businesses, including rationalizations of our existing facilities through plant closings and downsizings. We use a disciplined approach to identify opportunities that generate attractive cash returns. Rationalization charges by business segment for each of the years ended December 31 were as follows:
| 2015 |  | 2014 |  | 2013
| (Dollars in thousands)
Metal containers | $ | 41 |  |  | $ | (440 | ) |  | $ | 2,490 |
Closures | 1,684 |  |  | 12,256 |  |  | 5,615 |
Plastic containers | 12,682 |  |  | 2,665 |  |  | 3,882 |
| $ | 14,407 |  |  | $ | 14,481 |  |  | $ | 11,987 |
Rationalization charges in 2015 for the plastic container business segment were primarily related to the announced shutdown of the Woodstock, Illinois and Cape Girardeau, Missouri manufacturing facilities. Rationalization charges in 2014 for the closures business segment were primarily related to the shutdown of the manufacturing facility in Venezuela and headcount reductions in Europe. Activity in reserves for our rationalization plans was as follows:

Non-cash asset write-downs were the result of comparing the carrying value of certain production related equipment to their fair value using estimated future discounted cash flows, a Level 3 fair value measurement (as defined in Note 9). Rationalization reserves were included in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as accrued liabilities. Additional expenses and cash expenditures for our rationalization plans of $9.5 million and $10.9 million, respectively, are expected primarily in 2016.
