Single use plastic for seeds? Really?

My wife gave me a packet of petunia seeds that she’d like me to sow for her today. I was a little confused because there was clearly something lumpy and hard inside the packet. When I opened it I found this:

Do we really need such a container for seeds? Of course there’s no indication of whether or not it is recyclable nor any explanation on the packet to explain the change from traditional paper packets.

Even worse, stuck to the back of the packet is a pre-printed plastic plant label, so that’s effectively single use as well.

I’d kind of hope that companies that do business selling plants and seeds might be a little bit more sensitive to the environment 🙁
