I'm pretty sure chrome tanned leather is not biodegradable in any practical sense.

  Put it in a healthy compost pile and it will get eaten away. Even bone biodegrades, given enough time.

    Nature doesn't have compost piles, nor does the ocean's giant plastic islands. If a material only biodegrades at 60 C, then it for practical purposes it doesn't biodegrade.

      If it biodegrades at 60C in a month it’s probably gone after ten years in the ocean, which is a big improvement.
