Answer: No

Explanation:

A non-renewable resource is the one which cannot be replenish when once used. They are expected to short out of supply because of the fact that with the increasing population worldwide the demand for the resources will also increase. As a result of this the population may face scarcity of resources in future. Such resources cannot be expected to be used sustainably as they get completely used up in a single use. For example fossil fuels like coal, petroleum and natural gas.
