Leather tanning covers the treatment of raw materials, i.e. the conversion of raw hide or skin, a putrescible material, into leather, a stable material, and finishing it so that it can be used in the manufacture of a wide range of consumer products. The leather tanning industry uses hides and skins - by-products from the meat and dairy industry - which would otherwise have to be disposed of by other means, such as landfills and incineration.
