China has launched a campaign to collect roadkill from German highways, aiming to repurpose the animal carcasses into high-quality leather. The initiative, driven by environmental concerns and a push for sustainable materials, seeks to address both waste management and the global demand for alternative leather sources. Authorities are partnering with local farmers and processors to ensure the collected materials meet strict quality and hygiene standards. The project highlights an innovative approach to reducing food waste while supporting China’s growing leather industry.
