If you are big wine lovers like us, you might be going through the similar dilemma. What do we do with all these corks? Seems like we can compost them (link) but there is a way to "upcycle" it. We just signed up for Cork Recycling at TerraCycle. (there are 44 spots still available to participate in this program). You pay the small shipping fee (unless you have a bulk of cork then you can sing up for prepaid shipping program). We like their suggestion of using recycled envelop, old cereal bag...etc to ship the cork. TerraCycle collect the shipped corks and make new items like cork board.
*check out their other program for Yogurt Cups, Energy Bar Wrappers, Drink Pouches, Bottles and Cookie Wrappers.
