Leather production has a high environmental cost. It’s not as simple as recycling the inedible scrap. Animal agriculture is by and large a hugely inefficient and environmentally damaging industry on its own.
non animal leathers have moved on from being plastic based. There are actually some promising and viable alternatives.
Anyway, I’m mainly just suggesting it’s not as simple as your comment suggests

Technically, creatures mostly die for our dinners and the inedible scrap gets recycled into shoes, clothing, luggage etc.
