You're tight, but I couldn't think of a better term for it. I suspect leather is made with material that is generated not for leather making but as a consequence of the meat industry. And since when is "using the whole animal" a bad thing? Unless I'm wrong and there are animals killed specifically for their leather, that would be pretty fucked up.
