(117)As management of packaging and packaging waste is an important element of waste management in general, Member States should dedicate a separate chapter to that issue in their waste management plans prepared in the execution of obligation laid down in Directive 2008/98/EC. The measures on waste prevention and re-use should be included in the waste prevention programmes required pursuant to Directive 2008/98/EC. Those chapters should be included in the waste management plans and the waste prevention programmes as part of their next regular evaluation as required pursuant to Directive 2008/98/EC, or earlier.
