unrefillable
Cannot be replenished
Unrefillable describes a container designed to be used once and discarded rather than replenished: unrefillable plastic bottles, unrefillable prescription packaging.
The term often appears in environmental discussions about single-use products or in regulations preventing containers from being topped off with counterfeit goods.
