inconsumable
Not able eaten
Inconsumable describes something that cannot be consumed—whether because it resists being used up, eaten, or destroyed.
The term appears in economic and philosophical contexts: inconsumable goods are durable assets that don't diminish through use, unlike food or fuel.
The inconsumable nature of digital files means copies can proliferate without depleting the original.
