Hape is not made in US. They're made in China, and they a) have some plastic parts, and b) mix wood pulp in with plastic so that the wood can't biodegrade, nor the plastic be recycled
'Nest' <www.nest.ca> is a Canadian company (I'm in Toronto), but they have free shipping to the US, and they have a section on their site for toys and other items made in USA. This is my favourite online goto store, as they really into sustainability, and they claim that almost everything they sell is biodegradable.
I know from a friend of mine in Florida that they also promise their American customers no extra charges (eg. brokerage or duty) that they would have to pay.
Re: S/O plastic toys
I have one of their teethers, and love it! Too bad they don't make any others. I got mine off of babysteals. It's a CDN company... but close enough?!?
