Wine corks can be added to a home composting bin as a source of organic matter IF they are not made of plastic.
Wine corks are usually made of cork, which is a type of bark that is harvested from the cork oak tree.
Cork is a natural, biodegradable material, but it can take a long time to break down in a home composting system.
If you do decide to add wine corks to your compost bin, it's a good idea to shred or chop them up first to help them break down more quickly.
