Our ability to realize anticipated savings and operational benefits from the realignment of assets, including the planned closure of certain manufacturing
facilities;
The timing of closings and shifts of production to new facilities related to asset realignments and any unforeseen loss of customers and/or disruptions of
service or quality caused by such closings and/or production shifts;
Separation and severance amounts that differ from original estimates and amounts for non-cash charges related to asset write-offs and accelerated
depreciation realignments of property, plant and equipment, that differ from original estimates;
Our ability to identify and evaluate acquisition targets and consummate acquisitions;
The ability to successfully integrate acquired companies into our operations, retain the management teams of acquired companies and retain relationships

The speed and extent of an economic recovery, including the recovery of the housing market;

Changes in polymer consumption growth rates and laws and regulations regarding the disposal of plastic materials in jurisdictions where we conduct
business;
Changes in global industry capacity or in the rate at which anticipated changes in industry capacity come online in the industries in which we participate;
Fluctuations in raw material prices, quality and supply and in energy prices and supply;
Production outages or material costs associated with scheduled or unscheduled maintenance programs;
Unanticipated developments that could occur with respect to contingencies such as litigation and environmental matters;
An inability to achieve or delays in achieving or achievement of less than the anticipated financial benefit from initiatives related to working capital
reductions, cost reductions and employee productivity goals;
An inability to raise or sustain prices for products or services;
An inability to maintain appropriate relations with unions and employees;
