The correct answer is an aluminum soda can.

Explanation-

There is a limited amount of metal ores in the earth's crust. Even though the can is recyclable, metals are NOT renewable resources. A cardboard box is renewable (it can be replaced by natural process at a comparable rate) and recyclable (it can by recycled into useful material by composting).
