The diagram details/elaborates/explains the process by which leather is processed and products are made for retail.

Looking from an overall perspective, it is readily apparent that there are 3 main steps to this entirely man-made process which is beginning with initial transportation of the raw material (leather) to the factory, followed by preparation and processing of the material, and finally the production of consumer products.

Firstly, the leather skins from various animals are dried. Subsequent to this, they are taken to a factory by truck where they are washed in water and lime. The skins are then soaked in more lime for a period of time before being run through a machine with large rollers that flattens them out. Next, the flattened skins are soaked in tannin, which is composed of water and vegetable matter. They are then polished by another rolling device and taken to another factory by trucks. In this factory, the final products are crafted and available to consumer shops.
