Reasons: The object cannot be reproduced (easily or in a 'short' period of time) , regenerated, or produced, by the time its consumption rate is down. Like if you can't get more right when you need more. (for a while.)

Wood, is renewable, because though it is burned and you can't use it again, the time span it takes to reproduce is a only a couple years.

Another one, I suppose, is uranium, as it is not found in vast quantities.
