Leather is an important material with many uses.
Its main use is in the footwear industry. Together with wood,
leather formed the basis of much ancient technology. The leather
industry and the fur industry are distinct industries that are
differentiated by the importance of their raw materials. In the
leather industry the raw materials are by-products of the meat
industry, with the meat having higher value than the skin. The fur
industry uses raw materials that are higher in value than the meat
and hence the meat is classified as a by-product. Taxidermy also
makes use of the skin of animals, but generally the head and part of
the back are used. Hides and skins are also used in the manufacture
of glue and gelatin.
