Breadtopia sells two styles of bannetons that are not made in China:

Indonesia—https://breadtopia.com/store/bread-proofing-basket/

USA—https://breadtopia.com/store/breadtopia-banneton-round/

The Indonesian ones are traditional rattan and the US ones are a composite. I purchased both the round and oval composite style and have been very satisfied.

I recently bought a couple Bulka bannetons off amazon. Made in Germany from wood pulp. Only used once so far but I like them. Not cheap tho.

These guys make pulp baskets:  https://brotformen24.de/

Birnbaum makes plastic ones.

But all you really need is a bowl and a kitchen towel.
