A renewable resource is a natural resource with the ability of being replaced through biological or other natural processes and replenished with the passage of time. Renewable resources are part of our natural environment and form our ecosystem. Renewable resources, in the general public means any resource which can replenish itself in a timely manner, such as medium growth forests. As long as the resource in question cannot be completely depleted, it is a renewable resource.
