unsalvageable
Cannot be rescued
Beyond saving or recovery.
Something unsalvageable cannot be rescued, repaired, or restored to usefulness: The water-damaged documents were unsalvageable.
The term applies to physical objects, relationships, situations, or reputations: After the scandal, his career was unsalvageable.
Stronger than "damaged"—it implies the point of no return has passed.
