Are polymers renewable or nonrenewable

Answer 1

Polymers can be both depending upon which ones you are asking about. Polymer simply means "a chain of identical molecules linked together". Nonrenewable polymers would be plastics made from crude oil; renewable polymers would be cellulose and lignin in tree trunks.

Answer 2

Polymers can be both renewable and nonrenewable. Some polymers are made from Natural Resources that can be replenished, like bio-based polymers derived from plants. On the other hand, many common polymers are derived from fossil fuels, making them nonrenewable.
