We usually categorize energy sources as being renewable or non-renewable, based on whether the source of this fuel is in limited or unlimited supply.

Renewable refers to things like wind or sunshine, which keep on coming even if we use them to produce energy.

Other things get used up and don't renew. Coal and oil are non-renewable.

Glass is made from quartzite (or quartz) sand. Quartz is a mineral that the earth is not making more of, so in that sense, sand can be considered non-renewable mineral. But, the supply of quartz sand is plentiful and glass can be recycled.
