Leather is a durable and flexible material produced by tanning animal rawhide and skin, commonly from cattle. It is manufactured through processes ranging from small-scale cottage industries to large industrial operations. As one of the oldest manufacturing sectors, the leather industry produces a wide variety of goods such as footwear, bags, garments, and upholstery. The raw material is primarily derived from waste products of the meat industry, which are transformed into valuable and widely traded products used globally in everyday life.
