sustainable resources

Endlessly available materials

Sustainable resources are natural materials or energy sources that can be used without permanent depletion—either because they regenerate naturally or because consumption is managed to allow recovery.

Forests, fisheries, and solar energy qualify when harvested or used at rates that don't exceed renewal.

The company committed to sourcing only sustainable resources.

The term often appears in environmental and economic discussions about long-term viability.
