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:
| 2017 |  | 2016 |  | 2015
| (Dollars in thousands)
Metal containers | $ | 3,308 |  |  | $ | 12,056 |  |  | $ | 41 |
Closures | 1,042 |  |  | 568 |  |  | 1,684 |
Plastic containers | 1,476 |  |  | 6,437 |  |  | 12,682 |
| $ | 5,826 |  |  | $ | 19,061 |  |  | $ | 14,407 |
Rationalization charges in 2016 for the metal container business segment were primarily related to the shutdown of the LaPorte, Indiana manufacturing facility. Rationalization charges in 2015 for the plastic container business segment were primarily related to the shutdown of the Woodstock, Illinois and Cape Girardeau, Missouri manufacturing facilities. Activity in reserves for our rationalization plans was as follows:

Non-cash retirement benefits in 2016 consisted of special termination benefits of $2.8 million and net curtailment gains of $0.6 million recognized in connection with the shutdown of the LaPorte, Indiana manufacturing facility. See Note 11 for further information. 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 as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 were recorded in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as accrued liabilities of $1.2 million and $1.9 million, respectively, and as other liabilities of $1.2 million and $1.5 million, respectively. Remaining expenses for our rationalization plans of $1.3 million are expected in 2018 and thereafter. Remaining cash expenditures for our rationalization plans of $3.7 million are expected through 2023.
