I assume that a large majority of the packaging will just be landfilled. A different solution might be to use something along the lines of a cereal box, the cardboard can be easily recycled and with the right choice of polymer, the bag can be as well. It not being resealable is a con though

In general, multilayer packaging with plastic coating on a paper backing is not recyclable. I'd be interested in the analysis that lead to that packaging solution. It has to be water tight and plastics tend to be pretty good at that while being low impact to produce compared to glass or metal.
