unreclaimable
Beyond all recovery
Unable to be reclaimed, recovered, or restored to a former condition.
Land may be unreclaimable after severe contamination.
A person may be considered unreclaimable when rehabilitation seems impossible: The court deemed him an unreclaimable offender.
The word often carries a note of finality—what's lost stays lost.
