West Paw Toppl
★★★★★ 4.6 / 5
The Toppl is a stackable treat-dispensing toy made from West Paw's proprietary Zogoflex material, which is genuinely recyclable through the company's own take-back program and is manufactured in the US. It's still a synthetic polymer product, and the eco benefit only materializes if the toy actually gets mailed back for recycling.

Pros
- ✓Made from Zogoflex, a material West Paw will recycle into new toys through its 'Join the Loop' take-back program
- ✓Manufactured in Bozeman, Montana rather than overseas
- ✓Durable and dishwasher-safe, so it doesn't need frequent replacing like cheap chew toys
Cons
- ✗Recycling isn't automatic — the owner has to ship or drop off the worn toy for it to actually get recycled
- ✗It's still an oil-derived synthetic material, not a bio-based or compostable one
- ✗Pricier than basic rubber treat toys from other brands
