Is copper a renewable or non-renewable resource?

Copper is considered a non-renewable resource. This is because copper is a naturally occurring metal that is mined from the Earth's crust, and the rate of extraction exceeds the rate of natural replenishment. Once copper is extracted and used, it cannot be easily replaced within a human lifetime. Therefore, it is crucial to practice sustainable mining and recycling of copper to ensure its availability for future generations.


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.
