Scandium is considered a nonrenewable resource because it is a rare element primarily extracted from mineral deposits, which are finite and formed over geological timescales. The current mining processes are not sustainable enough to replenish the natural reserves within a human timescale. Additionally, the limited availability and the environmental impact of extracting scandium further contribute to its classification as a nonrenewable resource.
