heyyy hiii..... metals are not a renewable source u cannot regenerate them but yes they are recyclabe . for instance if u take out some metal from the earths surface it wont be replaced i.e renewed but it can be made into a can or other things , used and then it is recycled ........it cant be replace bak into the earths crust ... thus metals are not renewable but recyclable

It's a non-renewable resource. Fortunately, it's a recycleable one.

I think it is non renewable. Things such as solar, wind, and water are renewable as they are constantly re generating.
Metal can be recycled but it is a limited resource such as iron ore which is used to make steel can be quarried but each hole only contains so much.

Non renewable. It can be recycled but does not grow back like trees, photovoltaic cells or wind power.
