SEGMENTS

We manage and evaluate our operations in two reportable segments: North America and Europe. Both of these segments manufacture and supply a broad portfolio of single-use products that are used to serve food and beverages and are available in plastic, paper, foam, post-consumer recycled content and annually renewable materials. We manage our operating segments separately based on the products and requirements of the different markets. North America includes all of our entities established in the United States, Canada, Mexico and Puerto Rico, and our corporate function. Europe includes all U.K. entities. Other includes Panama.

The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Segment operating results are measured based on operating income (loss). We account for intersegment net sales on an arm’s-length pricing basis.
