Is it OK to put tea bags in wormeries?

Does the "paper" (is it "paper?) disintegrate?

Teabag paper is mostly wood-fibre but contains a percentage of polythene
&/or polypropylene fibre, (to enable the seams stick together when they
are heat-sealed). Obviously the former would compost, but the latter
would not....

We put the whole lot in (we get lots from the tea room in summer) and a
year later there are still some ghost bags left in the compost but after
use, say two years later, they have gone completely.
