Is a chair a nonrenewable or renewable source?

A chair is not considered a renewable or nonrenewable source. It is a man-made product typically made from natural materials like wood or metal, which can be replenished by planting more trees or recycling metal.


Is a Can a renewable or nonrenewable?

A can is nonrenewable because it is made of metal and metal is a nonrenewable resource. But it can be recycled. It doesn't necessarily mean it is renewable. The simple answer is that a can is nonrenewable.


Is plastic renewable or nonrenewable?

This is somewhat more complicated than it might seem. First as most plastics are produced from petroleum or natural gas, which are nonrenewable resources, the plastics are nonrenewable. Second thermoplastics can be melted and recycled, but this is not true of thermoset plastics. But being recyclable does not make thermoplastics renewable.Only bioplastics (from living things, e.g. vegetable oils) are renewable, because their source chemicals can be grown.


Both renewable and nonrenewable resources are used within our society. How do the uses of nonrenewable resources compare to the uses of renewable resources?

Nonrenewable resources are finite and cannot be easily replenished, leading to depletion. Renewable resources can be replenished naturally and are more sustainable in the long run. However, nonrenewable resources are still heavily relied upon due to their higher energy density and ease of extraction compared to renewable resources.
