While rubber was originally made from the sap of the rubber tree, and was thus a renewable resource, most modern products called "rubber" are made from chemicals derived from petroleum and thus are not renewable resources.

Rubber is a non renewable resource. It is a naturally occurring polymer. Rubber actually comes from a tree known as a rubber tree.

A rubber band can store energy when it is stretched but the source of that energy may be renewable or non renewable. The stored energy itself is neither renewable or non-renewable.

The way we make them, of petro products, yes. But there are surely a few rubber trees that have not been eradicated yet, somewhere. Hopefully.
