Which of these products are made from a renewable resource?
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Renewable resources are those which can be replaced naturally and repeatedly. For example, water, oxygen, and plants are examples of renewable resources.

Wood is a renewable resource as it is a part of trees. Trees are able to be replanted and can be cut down again, once they reach maturity. Plastics, glass, and steel are known as non-renewable resources as they cannot be replaced at a sufficient rate and usually have a limited supply. For example, plastics are created using a variety of different substances such as natural gas and oil (polyethylene). The Earth contains a limited supply of both substances, so plastic is deemed as being non-renewable.

As a result, the only renewable product in the choices provided above is a wooden spoon.
