Other byproducts systems involve the use of secondary materials derived from wild animals that are not the primary target of a dedicated production system. These materials are typically obtained through incidental capture, opportunistic harvesting, or as residual outputs from other forms of wild animal exploitation, then incorporated into commercial, decorative, or industrial supply chains.

While sources and uses vary widely, the underlying structure remains consistent: animal-derived materials are extracted, collected, or retained for additional value beyond the primary activity, with utilisation shaped by market demand and processing feasibility. These systems operate across fragmented supply chains, where byproducts are aggregated, traded, and repurposed without requiring a distinct, vertically integrated production infrastructure.
